“…For this study, however, the paucity of contemporaneous, continuous, sedimentary, or volcanic flow sequences with high‐resolution geomagnetic records limits our interpretation of a definitive origin for these features. Even when high‐resolution sedimentary (Bowers et al., 2001; Bowles et al., 2003) and volcanic flow magnetostratigraphy sequences are available (Knudsen et al., 2009; Otofuji et al., 2013), ambiguity remains because of the lack of detailed age control. We can however investigate end‐member representations of geomagnetic field behavior based on our new GPTS model.…”
