Method evidence record

Paleomagnetic Analysis

Paleomagnetic analysis is the study of remnant magnetization in rocks and sediments to determine the direction and magnitude of the Earth's ancient magnetic field and to establish the ages and tectonic histories of crustal rocks. Formalized by Fisher (1953) and Butler (1992), paleomagnetism underpins plate tectonics plate reconstruction, magnetostratigraphic dating, and paleoclimate studies.
