Description (Dublin Core)

en-US A method is presented for obtaining the direction and confidence oval for a paleomagnetic component at a site given a number of independently oriented samples, some of which give an estimate of the remanence direction, while others yield only remagnetization circles. Such mixed remagnetization circle-remanence direction data frequently characterise paleomagnetic sites carrying two remanence components where the component of interest is small and less dispersed compared to a more easily removed one. The method described maximises the amount of usable data per site and thus leads to an improved site direction estimate.
