Rock magnetic investigations included isothermal remanence (IRM) acquisitionand hysteresis experiments. IRM acquisition curves were found very similar for all samples. Saturation is reached in moderatefields of the order of 150-200 mT, which points to some spinels as remanence carriers. Judging from the ratios of hysteresisparameters, it seems that all samples fall in the pseudo-singledomain (PSD) or multidomain (MD) grain size region. In most ofstudied units one to two paleomagnetic components could be recognized. Small secondary components were easily removedapplying 100-180°C. Some of the samples yielded unstable thermal behavior suggesting evidence for multicomponent magnetization.Characteristic remanent magnetization components have been defined after 250°C for these samples. The comparison of theSayula-Isla polarity zonation poses some problems because of scarce microfossil content in studied sections. More data arerequired to better constrain the local Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale, but reasonably good correlation was obtained for theEarly-Middle Miocene biozones in the Salina del Istmo basin. 2002 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56841207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.2 Vol.41
