Influence of Magnetofossils on Paleointensity Estimations Inferred From Principal Component Analyses of First‐Order Reversal Curve Diagrams for Sediments From the Western Equatorial Pacific
Abstract Relative abundance of magnetite originated from magnetotactic bacteria (magnetofossils) in sediments may influence relative paleointensity (RPI) estimations of the geomagnetic field, as some studies reported an inverse correlation between RPI and the ratio of anhysteretic remanent magnetiza...
