Re: Rouse: PALEOMAGNETISM I (Origins 10:18-36) and PALEOMAGNETISM II (Origins 10:66-89)

Professor Rouse has written a useful summary of the paleomagnetic studies, although I am far more critical than he is of current interpretations. Nevertheless, the observations regarding Barnes’ model are well made. For some time, I have been wary of this model, as it seems to ignore more data than it explains.
