Figure F2. Example demagnetization results from Hole 1213B basalt samples. Plots show projection of magnetization vector endpoints on two orthogonal planes: horizontal (solid squares) and vertical (open squares). Numbers give strength of demagnetizing field (in milliTesla) or temperature of sample heating (in degrees centigrade). A. Alternating-field (AF) demagnetized sample from which the downward directed overprint is never completely removed. B. AF demagnetized sample that gives a shallow, negative characteristic magnetization. C. Thermally demagnetized sample for which heating did not completely remove the downward overprint. D. Thermally demagnetized sample which gives a shallow, negative inclination above 450°C. Inset plots show normalized magnetization and demonstrate large initial loss of magnetization at low AF demagnetization steps.
