In this paper we present a new magnetic compilation for an area of the North Atlantic located between 35 degrees N and 47 degrees N and up to anomaly 33r. We also present a strategy to pick magnetic isochrones and compute finite rotation poles. This technique is based on a continuous reduction to th...
