Scientific paper

A study of the remanent magnetism in Swedish varved clay shows that, even in varves that macroscopically appear to be undeformed, the paleomagnetic record may be seriously altered due to stress-induced deformation of the micro-fabric in the sediment.
In the studied area disturbed clays were rather the rule than the exception, but undisturbed sediments were found at two sites, Järna II and III. This clay formed 10,200 years B.P. and shows a declination of about 30° east, a value that could be obtained thanks to excellent lateral control of the magnetism.
