Linearity of natural versus laboratory-imparted remanence demagnetization diagram and reliability of relative paleointensity estimation by Toshitsugu Yamazaki, Jiaxi Li

“…Abstract Information on geomagnetic field intensity in the past is essential for understanding the behavior and mechanism of the geodynamo. A fundamental unresolved problem of relative paleointensity (RPI) estimations from marine sediments is that changes in the constituents of magnetic mineral assemblages may influence RPI estimations, called lithological contamination. …”
