Scientific paper

The IAGA global palaeomagnetic database, initiated in 1988, is supposed to contain directional and statistical palaeomagnetic data, and additional information on rock magnetic measurements for assessment of the reliability of the palaeomagnetic results. The rock magnetic information content of the database for 1969-1988 was analysed. As a main result, it could be shown that, at present, only about half of the palaeomagnetic results are supported by rock magnetic measurements; however, there is a tendency towards the improvement of this figure. The increase of investigations on sediments is clearly associated with the introduction of more sensitive magnetometers since the early 1970s. Trends could also be found for some rock magnetic techniques (e.g. isothermal remanent magnetization acquisition curves).
