Magnetostratigraphic data from drill core ZK02 in the Taiyuan Basin, North China
Abstract
This dataset contains magnetostratigraphic measurements from drill core ZK02, located in the Taiyuan Basin, central Shanxi Rift, North China. The core penetrates continuous basin-fill sediments recording the complete history of rift initiation to present. The Excel file includes the following sheets: characteristic remanent magnetization directions and age-depth model calculations. These data constrain the initiation age of the Shanxi Rift to ~7.4 Ma. For detailed methodology, please refer to the associated publication.
