These datasets includes the paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, carbon isotope datasets for the Lavernock Point sections. They also include the statistically constructed magnetochrons for the early Rhaetian, and the statistical evaluation of the comparisons between the biostratigraphic GPTS and key comparable sections in the Sevatian and early Rhaetian. The datasets include the following pages of information housed in excel spreadsheets:

  1. Raw palaeomagnetic measurements
  2. All NRM intensity (J0) and magnetic susceptibility data
  3. Field corrections
  4. Directional analysis on all the Lavernock specimens, and sample means
  5. Organic carbon isotope datasets (and % total carbon and nitrogen)
  6. Rotational remanent magnetisation measurements
  7. Workings for the statistical composite polarity construction
  8. Reference magnetostratigraphic scales
  9. Sevatian-Early Rhaetian correlation model statistics
  10. R-script used for creating the matrix correlation statistics
