Rock-magnetic experiments including measurement of thermomagnetic curves and hysteresis parameters as well as ore microscopy showed that the main carriers of remanence were low-Ti titanomagnetite and titanohematite. A PSD domain structure was observed in most samples. 43 of 90 samples from only 7 sites provided successful paleointensity determinations. 4 sites yield very low paleointensity values, but only in sites M4 and G15 anomalous paleomagnetic directions confirm an intermediate polarity. Lamproitic and calc-alkaline volcanics proved to be more suitable for paleointensity determinations in this areaspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/PaleointensityRock magnetismVolcanic rocksNeogenejournal articleopen access
