International audience Possession Island, in the Crozet Archipelago, consists of volcanic units erupted mainly between ~5 and 0.5 Ma. A paleomagnetic sampling was carried out along several sections distributed near the northern, eastern, and southeastern coasts. A total of 45 independent flows were...
