Characteristic magnetizations of paleomagnetic samples from ODP Leg 103

Magnetic polarity chrons were assigned to polarity zones using biostratigraphic constraints. In Holes 638B and 638C, polarity Chrons M3 and perhaps Ml are present in the upper part, M4 and M5 are apparently absent, M6 through M9 are poorly represented, M10 and M10N are apparently absent, and Ml 1 and M12 are tentatively assigned to the lower part.

Strata in Holes 638B and 638C dip toward the south. In Hole 639A, polarity Chron M13 is well documented and M12A may be present. In Hole 639D, polarity Chrons M19 through M21 may be present, but the data is poor.
