PALAEOMAGNETIC RESULT TABLE: RESULT	RESULT, LABORATORY TESTS, TILT CORRECTION, REVERSALS, COMMENTS
RESULTNO	LINK WITH ALTRESULT, FIELDTESTS AND CROSSREF TABLES
ROCKUNITNO	LINK WITH ROCKUNIT TABLE
COMPONENT	Name given by the author where several magnetisation components are identified If the result is a combined pole the field will read 'Combined result' and further details will be given in the COMMENTS field
LOWMAGAGE, HIGHMAGAGE	Lower and upper best estimates of the magnetic age of the magnetisation component
TESTS	Tests are designated by the following symbols: F = Fold test, F* = Synfold test, Fs = Fold test + strain removal C = Baked contact test, C* = Inverse contact test G = Conglomerate test, G* = Intraformational conglomerate test U = Unconformity test (after Kirschvink) R = Reversals test (Ra, Rb, Rc, Rai, Rbi, Rci) M = Rock magnetic tests where "+", "-" or "o" are used to indicate positive, negative or inconclusive tests Details of field tests are given in the FIELDTEST TABLE
TILT	Percentage tilt correction applied
SLAT, SLONG	Site position for calculating the pole position (SLONG lies in the range -180.0 to +180.0)
B, N, DEC, INC, KD, ED95	The usual directional parameters
PLAT, PLONG	The pole position with PLONG in the range 0.0 to 360.0
PTYPE	How the pole was calculated D = from mean DEC, INC V = from mean VGP (in this case DP = DM = EP95)
DP, DM	Error parameters on the pole position
NOREVERSED	Percentage of reversed polarity data
PALAEOMAGNETIC RESULT TABLE: LABORATORY TESTS
DEMAGCODE	Laboratory analytical procedures: 0 = No demagnetisation 1 = Only pilot demagnetisation on some samples 2 = All samples treated, blanket treatment only 3 = Stereonets with J/Jo, or vector plots provided 4 = Principal component analysis (PCA) plus vector or stereoplots and J/Jo 5 = PCA plus multiple treatments that successfully isolate components of magnetisation (e.g. AF and Thermal or Thermal and Chemical)
TREATMENT	Demagnetisation treatment: A = Alternating field (AF) T = Thermal H = Chemical N = No demagnetisation
LABDETAILS	Information such as maximum AF field or temperature used for pilot test purposes
ROCKMAG	Summary of basic rock magnetic studies: OP = (Opaques from reflected light where MAGN = magnetite, MAGH = maghemite, TM = titanomagnetite, TMH = titanomaghemite, ILM = ilmenite, HEM = hematite, THEM = titanohematite, GEOTH = geothite, PYRR = pyrrhotite, RUT = rutile, MART = martite) Js-T = (Curie temperatures) IRM = (IRM acquisition with saturation field) SUSC = (Susceptibility) AN = (Anisotropy)
RESULT TABLE: TILT CORRECTION
N_TILT	Number of measurements
D_UNCOR, I_UNCOR, K1, ED1	Directional parameters before tilt correction
D_COR, I_COR, K2, ED2	Directional parameters after tilt correction
PALAEOMAGNETIC RESULT TABLE: REVERSALS
ANTIPODAL	Angle between normal and reversed results
N_NORM, D_NORM, I_NORM, K_NORM, ED_NORM	Directional parameters for the normal polarity results
N_REV, D_REV, I_REV, K_REV, ED_REV	Directional parameters for the reversed polarity results
PALAEOMAGNETIC RESULT TABLE: COMMENTS
COMMENTS	General information including details of the origin of MAGAGE. If the result is a combined pole this field contains information on the data included in the combined result
STATUS	Notes on the status of the result. 'Superseded by...' = the result is superseded by another in the database 'Old result' = the result is old with very limited laboratory analysis 'Data included in...' = the result is included in a combined pole 'See...' = there is some reason to refer to another result in the database
