Comparison of magnetostratigraphic
and biostratigraphic data from this study and the Mayerling section from
Austria (Gallet et al., 1998). Biostratigraphy at Mayerling is based on
conodonts. The thickness of the reversed polarity interval located at Mayerling
in the lowermost part of the Diebeli conodont zone, and here informally
named MF-, has been here reinterpreted (i.e., shortened) after Gallet et
al. (1998, fig. 10). A small departure of the characteristic component
direction towards shallower inclinations observed at Mayerling in the upper
part of the Diebeli conodont zone is here highlighted and informally named
MH-. This "excursion" occurs at or close to a lithological transition.
Thicknesses are expressed in meters from the base of sections. |
