Magnetostratigraphic dating of Cenozoic platform carbonates from Bahamas and Florida

OSTI ID:6118036
An earlier study of the magnetic reversals in a single core of late Cenozoic shallow-water carbonates from the Bahamas found that the sequence of reversals, measured with a SQUID magnetometer, correlated with the standard magnetic polarity time scale. This initial application of magnetostratigraphy to date shallow-water carbonates with little or no terrigenous components has now been confirmed by study of two additional cores from the Bahamas and an older outcrop sequence from Florida.
