Episodic Seafloor Hydrothermal Alteration as a Source of Stable Remagnetizations in Archean Volcanic Rocks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Interpreting the paleomagnetic records of altered rocks, especially those from Earth's earliest history, is complicated by metamorphic overprints and recrystallization of ferromagnetic minerals. However, these records may be as valuable as a primary signal if the timing and mechanism of alteration‐related remagnetizations can be ascertained ...
