Low-temperature demagnetization of natural remanent magnetization in dolerites of a Proterozoic dyke swarm near Nain, Labrador
Dolerite dykes are presently considered to be the most important recorders of Precambrian paleomagnetism. This is because they can often be accurately dated (using U-Pb in baddeleyite) and can often be shown to carry primary remanence (using the baked contact test). However the mechanisms by which t...
