Abstract

Detailed paleomagnetic measurements have been made on a lava sequence exposed between altitudes of 700 to 1000 meters in the Amarkantak-Dindori tract on the eastern margin of the Deccan traps. The variation in the direction of remanent magnetism with altitude has been studied. The paleomagnetic data reveal the occurrence of a reversal of the earth's magnetic field at an altitude of about 975 meters at Amarkantak as well as the unstable behavior of the geomagnetic field near the polarity transition. These data are at variance with the observation of the same reversal of magnetic field at an altitude of about 625 meters in the paleomagnetic study of several other vertical sequences in the Deccan traps. The variance is interpreted in terms of an uplift of the Amarkantak region by about 350 meters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
