Paleomagnetic directions in the Tjörnes beds, Northern Iceland
Table 1. Mean paleomagnetic directions and intensities in samples from 31 sites in Tjörnes. n = number of
samples used in averaging; decl., incl. = declination and inclination of mean field; long., lat. = longitude and
latitude of virtual geomagnetic pole; alf = 95% confidence angle for the mean field, degrees; J100 = intensity
of remanence after 10 mT AF demagnetization, A/m; pol. = polarity: N = normal, R= reverse, T = transitional.
* indicates that alf exceeds 20◦. – Segulstefnur, staðsetning sýndarsegulskauta, og styrkur segulmögnunar á 31
stað í Tjörneslögunum.
