Can Paleomagnetism Be Used as a Mapping Tool in Basalt Provinces?

G039 Can Paleomagnetism be used as a mapping tool in basalt provinces? 1 1.0 Introduction Magnetic data have been acquired on the Faroese Continental Shelf on several occasions including aeromagnetic data and marine magnetic data. These datasets have demonstrated that interpreting magnetic data on the Faroese Continental Shelf is not a straightforward exercise due to a very strong overprint of remanent magnetisation within the measured magnetic response. Figure 1 shows the magnetic response for the southern part of the Faroese Platform. Very little is known about the basement structure in the Platform area. There are however speculations about shallow basement
