Paleomagnetism in Lake Pannon: Problems, Pitfalls, and Progress in Using Iron Sulfides for Magnetostratigraphy by Nick A. Kelder, Karin Sant, Mark J. Dekkers, Imre Magyar, Gijs A. vanDijk, Ymke Z. Lathouwers, Orsolya Sztanó, Wout Krijgsman

“…Alternating field demagnetization cannot resolve the individual components: it yields polarities corresponding to the dominant component resulting in erratic polarity patterns. Interpretation of LT and HT components allows a reasonably robust magnetostratigraphic correlation to the geomagnetic polarity time scale with the base of PAET‐30 at ~8.4 Ma and its top at ~6.8 Ma (average sedimentation rate of ~30 cm/kyr). …”
