Paleomagnetism of two red paleosols and Mangaroa Ash, Upper Hutt, New Zealand

Abstract

Two red paleosols, and the Mangaroa Ash which separates them, have stable components of magnetisation of order 10^-3 to 10^-2 A/m. They are normally magnetised and their age is considered to be within Paleomagnetic Epoch 1 (Brunhes Normal), i.e., less than 0·69 m.y.
