Paleomagnetic studies of hyaloclastite mountains, indications of duration of buildup

Paleomagnetic measurements were used to estimate the buildup time of hyaloclastite mountains such as tuyas. Tuyas are in general built up of a pillow lava under hyaloclastite, both formed in an underwater eruption. Above the hyaloclastite is a flow-foot breccia and a cap lava formed in a subaerial e...
