Holocene geomagnetic secular variations recorded by sediments from Escondido Lake (south Argentina)

Paleomagnetic and sedimentological studies carried out on two short cores and nine long cores from the bottom sediments from Escondido Lake (south-western Argentina) are described. Rock magnetic analysis suggests that the main carriers of magnetization seems to be ferrimagnetic minerals, predominant...

The longer periods may be related to dipolar variations, while the shorter periods may be associated to non dipolar variations. 1999 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_13438832_v51_n2_p93_Gogorza http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_13438832_v51_n2_p93_Gogorza
