Abstract The Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault Zone (YBFZ), located in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt (LSTB) on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, is highly seismically active. However, direct evidence of large earthquakes at depth is scarce. Here, we present rock magnetic, microstructural, and geochemical analyses of four fault zones from the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault ...

Palaeomagnetism and tectonics of middle America and adjacent regions Part 1
Investigations, unified under the working hypothesis of plate tectonics, have produced a revolution in the earth sciences over the past decades. The effects of this have been profound since it has lead to a reexamination of the vast amount of available ...

Abstract We present a new method for paleomagnetic investigations, polarized neutron imaging, a non‐destructive magnetic imaging technique benefiting from the high penetration depth and spin of the neutron allowing spatial characterization of the magnetic field within a sample.

Abstract Anisotropy of magnetic remanence (AMR) holds promise for quantifying relative paleointensity values from sedimentary rocks. A proof of concept was established for applied fields that exceeded the intensity of the geomagnetic field. Under Earth‐like fields, large uncertainties necessitate the development of a new approach to improve the ...

Paleomagnetism of the Silurian-Devonian Andreas redbeds: Evidence for an Early Devonian supercontinent? [PDF]
Two components of magnetization were isolated in the Silurian-Devonian Andreas redbeds of the central Appalachians of Pennsylvania (lat 40.75 degrees N, long 75.78 degrees W): a thermally distributed, synfolding B component, and a thermally discrete, pre-

Abstract The late Eocene to early Oligocene is an intriguing Paleogene period in which the Earth climate state changed from Warmhouse to Coolhouse. Accurate age models are essential for investigating these climate transitions. The southwestern Pacific International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1553, with its almost complete succession of the ...

Ferromagnetism in two mouse tumours [PDF]
A variety of living organisms has been found recently that are biochemically able to precipitate the ferromagnetic mineral magnetite (Fe3O4). Originally discovered in the radular teeth of a primitive marine mollusc (Lowenstam, 1962), magnetite has since ...

Abstract In paleomagnetism, bulk measurements of entire samples have traditionally been used to characterize remanent magnetization. While effective, this approach provides only a general directional estimate and cannot resolve spatial variability or magnetization at the grain scale.

Paleomagnetism of a lateritic paleoweathering horizon and overlying Paleoproterozoic red beds from South Africa: Implications for the Kaapvaal apparent polar wander path and a confirmation of atmospheric oxygen enrichment [PDF]
The Olifantshoek Group in southern Africa contains Paleoproterozoic red beds that are exceptionally well preserved, lying unconformably atop a regionally extensive lateritic paleoweathering profile.

Abstract Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses were conducted on sediment cores from the northeastern Greenland Shelf and Young Sound along the western edge of Fram Strait. The paleomagnetic signal in all three sediment cores is characterized by a strong and stable single component magnetization carried by low coercivity ferrimagnetic single domain ...
