Abstract

Two blocks have been cut in two lava flows from the Skalamaelifell Hill(Iceland) known to have recorded the Laschamp magnetic excursion (40.4+/- 2.0 ka). Detailed sampling and analyses have revealed multiplemagnetic components. The high temperature/coercivity componentcorresponds to the primary magnetisation, with corresponding pole
