A High?Resolution Paleosecular Variation Record for Marine Isotope Stage 6 From Southeastern Black Sea Sediments

A full-vector paleosecular variation (PSV) record (inclination, declination, and relative paleointensity) from the pen-ultimate glacial (130–180 ka) could be constructed a total of 12 sediment cores recovered Arkhangelsky Ridge in SE Black Sea. Stacking individual partly fragmented records was achieved by detailed correlation using high-resolution data X-ray fluorescence scanning, Ca/Ti K/Ti log-ratios, as well magnetic susceptibility. Age constraints are provided composite oxygen isotope stratigraphy three cores, correlated to U-Th-dated speleothem Hungary Turkey. The temporal resolution stacked paleomagnetic is 200 years. Practically, this set first PSV for Europe/SW Asia marine stage 6, comprising inclination, declination paleointensity. Besides an easterly swing at ?159 ka pronounced intensity low together with inclinations ?148 ka, both not reaching excursional index >0.5, obtained directional variations reflect only normal PSVs, <0.3.
