Figure F17. Representative vector endpoint diagrams (Zijderveld, 1967) of magnetization directions of discrete samples through stepwise AF demagnetization showing (A) complicated path at high field steps and (B) near-single component after removing the vertical overprint at 5 mT demagnetization. Open squares and solid circles represent the projection of the magnetization vector endpoints onto the vertical and horizontal planes, respectively. NRM = natural remanent magnetization.
