1. Thermal demagnetization
   Stepwise thermal demagnetization of Natural Remanent Magnetization (NRM) was performed at the UNM-ALP laboratory using a Superconducting Rock Magnetometer 2G Enterprise 755 hosted in a shielded room. Specimens were subjected to a stepwise thermal demagnetization in 15 steps from room temperature to 600°C, with additional four steps up to 700°C for specimens showing higher unblocking temperatures
   Quantities: Forty-eight representative AMS cubes (16 per formation) selected for thermal demagnetizationDuration: Not specifiedConditions: Room temperature to 700°C in shielded room
   Equipment: Superconducting Rock Magnetometer 2G Enterprise 755
