Oligo‐Miocene magnetostratigraphy and rock magnetism of the Xishuigou section, Subei (Gansu Province, western China) and implications for shallow inclinations in central Asia

Magnetostratigraphy of the Kelasu section in the Baicheng depression, Southern Tian Shan, northwestern China

“…Another anisotropy parameter, T (shape parameter) (Hrouda, 1982), can reflect the information related to hydrologic regime and transport conditions experienced by the sediments (Kissel et al, 1997;Gilder et al, 2001;Charreau et al, 2005Charreau et al, , 2009, because T is sensitive to the preferred orientation of particles during deposition (Charreau et al, 2009). Similar relationships are also observed between T and K m (Figs.…”

Palaeomagnetic study of the Kepezdağ and Yamadağ volcanic complexes, central Turkey: Neogene tectonic escape and block definition in the central-east Anatolides

“…Factors potentially contributing to a shallowing of the mean inclination include a variety of effects related to primary deposition (especially important in clastic sediments, e.g. Gilder et al, 2001), the geomagnetic field source (Wilson, 1971) and possibly unaccomodated tilt corrections (Calderone and Butler, 1991). Tauxe and Kent (2004) provide a test for isolating the contribution of inclinationshallowing from departures from the geocentric axial dipole (GAD) by comparing an elongation parameter E defined by the ratio of eigenvectors of the directional distribution with the elongations predicted from palaeosecular variation models at different lati- Fig.…”

Magnetostratigraphy of the Xiaolongtan Formation bearing Lufengpithecus keiyuanensis in Yunnan, southwestern China: Constraint on the initiation time of the southern segment of the Xianshuihe–Xiaojiang fault

“…On average, the declination of K3 generally parallels the bedding dip direction, it inclined southeastward at the bottom (the mean direction between 200 and 300 m is D/I = 153.3°/78.7°, a 95 = 5.3°) and eastward at the top (the mean direction between 300 and 400 m is D/I = 83.7°/80.6°, a 95 = 1.5°). This character has been reported by Gilder et al (2001) from Subei, NW China, which suggests that the original sedimentary fabric becomes progressively overprinted by tectonic strain during or after folding (Gilder et al, 2001). …”
