Results of paleomagnetic study of an upper Cenozoic volcanogenic sequence,in central part of Kamchatka median range

Analyses and correlations of profiles through the Ermanovka Series (Kamchatka) of a still controversial age suggest, among other things, a gap of some 1 m. y. between the Series and the overlying sheet of basalts. Comparisons of the Kamchatkan paleomagnetic zones with the Apsheron- Transcaspian generalized paleomagnetic profiles indicate 3.5 m. y. as the absolute age of the tops of the Ermanovka Series. — IGR Staff.
