Paleointensities From Cenozoic Lava Fflows Using the Multi-specimen Parallel Differential pTRM Method

Samples from tertiary and quaternary lava flows have been studied using the multi-specimen parallel differential pTRM method to obtain paleointensities. These samples come from the Transmexican Volcanic Belt, the San Quintin volcanic field in Baja California, and from the 1960 lava flow in Hawaii. In some cases results are also available from other PI methods, thus allowing to compare the different methods. We will report on the results obtained and the experiences applying the new method.
