Figure F4. Histogram for the summed angle of the magnetic tool face (MTF) and the mean declination for each core. Eighty-seven data values resulted in an average of 7.9° and a standard deviation of 38.3°, indicating that the mean declination is indistinguishable from today’s declination of approximately –17° at the core recovery sites. ChRM = characteristic remanent magnetization.
