Magnetostratigraphy and Tectonic Rotation of the Eocene-Oligocene Makah and Hoko River Formations, Northwest Washington, USA

Figure 5

Equal area projections of estimated means directions of sites in the Makah Formation. Solid dots, rectangles, and solid circles indicate mean for normal polarity sites (lower hemisphere projection). Open dots and dashed lines indicate mean of reverse polarity samples (upper hemisphere projection). As can be seen from the plot, the directions are antipodal, suggesting that the primary remanence has been obtained and most overprinting has been removed. “Baada N mean” and “Baada R mean” refer to the means of normal and reversed sites from the Baada Point section; “Ozette N mean” and “Ozette R mean” are from the Ozette Road-Hoko River section; and “Sekiu N mean;” “Sekiu R mean” are from the coastal section between Shipwreck Point and the mouth of the Sekiu River.
