Abstract
The direction of bulk magnetic grain alignment within Quaternary and Pliocene diatomaceous clays and muddy diatomaceous oozes from site 514 in the Argentine Basin, Tertiary and Cretaceous nannofossil oozes, marls, and volcaniclastic sandstones from the southeastern flank of the Walvis Ridge at hole 524 and Albian to Eocene deposits from 20km north of the Walvis escarpment at hole 530A, recovered during legs 71, 73 and 75 of the international Program of Ocean Drilling (IPOD), has been determined from measurements of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy
