The magnetostratigraphy of Sites 748 and 750 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 120 is reported. About 260 sediment cubes were stepwise demagnetized with alternating fields to determine their characteristic direction of natural remanent magnetization. In general, the characteristic inclinations of the single samples have values similar to the inclination values obtained from whole-core measurements ...

In New Mexico (NM), Upper Triassic strata of the Chinle Group are nonmarine siliciclastic red beds containing an an extensive fossil record that demonstrates a late Carnian to early Rhaetian age, about 230-203 Ma. Magnetostratigraphic studies of the Chinle Group in NM began in the 1970s and have produced complete Chinle magnetostratigraphies in east-central NM (Tucumcari basin) and north-centra...

Speleological, stratigraphic, paleomagnetic and faunal data is presented for the Buffalo Cave fossil site in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Speleothems and clastic deposits were sampled for paleomagnetic and mineral magnetic analysis from the northern part of the site, where stratigraphic relationships could be more easily defined and a magnetostratigraphy could therefore be developed fo...

Alluvial-fan strata contain valuable proxy data for kinematic, climatic and sediment-flux phenomena associated with high-relief source regions. Proper application of this data is dependent upon acquisition of accurate high-resolution chronostratigraphic data, best achieved through magnetostratigraphy. Collection of magnetostratigraphic and other proxy data from composite alluvial-fan sections a...

The primary objective of DSDP Leg 94 was to obtain continuous paleoclimatic records along a roughly north-south transect in the North Atlantic. The magnetostratigraphy of 21 holes at 6 sites cored with the hydraulic piston corer and extended-core-barrel corer is presented here and establishes an independent chronology for these sediments. Nearly complete records were obtained for the last 2.5 m...
