Tarling 1967

Tarling, D.H. (1967). Some paleomagnetic results from Rarotonga, Cook islands. New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics 10(6): 1,400-1,406.

Lavas and dikes in Rarotonga were sampled at 12 sites and are all found to be of reversed polarity. The mean directions of remanence are found to be 223 degrees , +59 degrees , for samples from the Avatiu valley and 180 degrees , +48 degrees , for samples from the Tuoro quarry; the average circular standard deviations are 47 degrees and 20 degrees respectively. Insufficient sampling prevents interpretation in terms of secular variation.
