Paleomagnetic data from Black Sea, sediment core MSM33_851-1 (MSM33-53-1)

The core was sampled at intervals between 1.7 and 3.0 cm. All material was subjected to detailed paleo- and rock magnetic analyses.

As a main result the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion at around 41 ka could be revealed. This feature of the geomagnetic field was characterized by a short but full reversal and very low intensities of the Earth's magnetic field. However, data is more or less compromised due to the post-depositional precipitation of the magnetic iron sulfide greigite (Fe3S4).
