No asymmetry in geomagnetic reversals recorded by 1.1-billion-year-old Keweenawan basalts
Interpreting the past latitude and geography of the continents from palaeomagnetic data relies on the key assumption that Earth’s geomagnetic field behaves as a geocentric axial dipole. The axial dipolar field model implies that all geomagnetic reversals should be symmetric. However, palaeomagnetic data from volcanic rocks produced by the 1.1-billion-yearold Keweenawan Rift system in North Amer...
متن کاملPrecambrian Rocks of the Tusas Mountains
INTRODUCTION Precambrian rocks in the Tusas Mountains range from nearly monomineralic quartzite, in which the principal result of metamorphism has been simple recrystallization, through locally metasomatized schist and gneiss profoundly modified by potash-rich fluids during the intrusion of pegmatite. Texturally, the rocks range from schist and phyllite containing penetrative and pervasive clea...
متن کاملInterpreting Late Precambrian Microfossils
Chia-Wei Li et al. describe microfossils found in Doushantuo phosphate rocks from Guizhou Province, South China that are about 580 million years old (1). Well-preserved macroscopic multicellular fossils associated with prokaryotic and eukaryotic microfossils from the same source rocks have been documented in several studies (2– 6). The Doushantuo fossils are outstanding in both preservation qua...
متن کاملArcheomagnetic Intensity Spikes: Global or Regional Geomagnetic Field Features?
Variations of the geomagnetic field prior to direct observations are inferred from archeoand paleomagnetic experiments. Seemingly unusual variations not seen in the present-day and historical field are of particular interest to constrain the full range of core dynamics. Recently, archeomagnetic intensity spikes, characterized by very high field values that appear to be associated with rapid sec...
متن کاملLine asymmetry of solar p-modes: Reversal of asymmetry in intensity power spectra
The sense of line asymmetry of solar p-modes in the intensity power spectra is observed to be opposite of that seen in the velocity power spectra. Theoretical calculations provide a good understanding and fit to the observed velocity power spectra whereas the reverse sense of asymmetry in the intensity power spectrum has been poorly understood. We show that when turbulent eddies arrive at the t...
