- Description
- This dataset comprises palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic data collected during a B.Sc. Honours Project by Kathryn Job, who was based in the School of Earth Sciences, University of Tasmania and supervised by Dr Robert Musgrave, conjoint senior lecturer in SELS at the University of Newcastle. The analytical work was conducted at the PALM laboratory in the Newcastle Institute for Energy & Resources, University of Newcastle and in the CSIRO Division of Earth Science and Resource Engineering. The project successfully tested the hypothesis that the Dundas-Fossey Trough in Tasmania was deformed as an orocline, and incidentally provided evidence for the extent and nature of low-temperature late Cretaceous magnetic overprinting in eastern Australia. The study has been submitted for publication in Tectonophysics, with the title “Palaeomagnetism of the Dundas–Fossey Trough, Tasmania: oroclinal rotation and Late Cretaceous overprinting”, authored by Robert J. Musgrave and Kathryn Job. Data collected include palaeomagnetic remanence after stepwise thermal and alternating field (AF) demagnetisation, hysteresis parameters, saturation isothermal remanence (SIRM) acquisition and back-field demagnetisation, magnetic susceptibility, and sample mass. A total of 111 remanence and 21 rock-magnetic specimens were analysed. This dataset contains 182 files (including this metadata file), in .xlsx, .doc, and ASCII text (including Remasoft files with suffixes .rs3 and .rsf) formats. Total size 660 kB.
