Paleomagnetism Of The Snoqualmie Batholith Central Cascades, Washington, Suzanne J. Beske
Paleomagnetism Of The Snoqualmie Batholith Central Cascades, Washington, Suzanne J. Beske
WWU Graduate School Collection
Paleomagnetic results have been obtained from eight sites in the Miocene (15-18 m.y.) Snoqualmie batholith, Central Cascades, Washington. After ac magnetic cleaning, four magnetically stable sites remained, yielding a pole at 221.0°E, 84.5°N, (δp = 7.9, δm = 9.3, k = 286.4). A stability test was formulated based on the ratio of the intensity of natural remanent magnetism, NRM, (after ac demagnetization) to the weak field susceptibility. This ratio, Qd proved effective in determining magnetically stable samples from samples showing a wide spectrum of stability from within the Snoqualmie batholith, and therefore, was strictly applied to all …
