Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Cretaceous Normal Superchron (CNS) is a ~40 Myr-long period extending between Chrons M0 and 34 (~120-83 Ma) during which the geomagnetic field polarity remained normal. Systematic variations of the geomagnetic paleointensity have been suggested based on a deep-tow magnetic profile acquired in the Central Atlantic Ocean and selected sea-surface magnetic profiles worldwide crossing the whole CNS (Granot et al., 2012). We extend this study by using three additional data sets acquired in the South-Western Indian Ocean, the Northern Indian Ocean, and the Northern Pacific Ocean. Our analysis on these data do not well support the previous hypothesis of the geomagnetic paleointensity variation within the CNS. Further, our results indicate that it is of crucial importance to assess the two-dimensional character of the magnetized sources, because it leads to avoid interpreting spurious local effects as paleointensity variations and to derive a reliable geomagnetic paleointensity variation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
海洋地殻形成の拡大速度から、太平洋ハワイ沖での海上観測での地磁気異常データから推定する古地磁気変動の時間分解能は、大西洋やインド洋での深海観測での地磁気異常データによる時間分解能とほぼ同等であることが確認できた。また、地磁気異常の変化から古地磁気変動の記録を抽出するためには、磁化原因物体の2次元性の吟味と3次元性の影響の除去が必須である。このことから、長期間にわたって地磁気逆転が起きなかった特異な時期である白亜紀スーパークロンにおける古地磁気変動の情報を得るには、太平洋ハワイ沖での複数測線での海上地磁気観測が鍵であり、この情報が地磁気成因の理解を進めるために重要であることが分かった。
