The magnitude of the palaeomagnetic field in Iceland between 2 and 6 Myr ago

Sixty-eight palaeomagnetic field magnitude values have been determined from a sequence of Icelandic lavas, ranging from 2 to 6 Myr in age. The results indicate large and rapid changes in the palaeomagnetic dipole field and provide a mean value of the palaeomagnetic field magnitude in Iceland for thi...

Description
Summary:Sixty-eight palaeomagnetic field magnitude values have been determined from a sequence of Icelandic lavas, ranging from 2 to 6 Myr in age. The results indicate large and rapid changes in the palaeomagnetic dipole field and provide a mean value of the palaeomagnetic field magnitude in Iceland for this period.
