Creation Scientist = filtered data set with a dash of ego.
--Personally, I don't even like to refer to them as 'creation scientists', isn't it true that you either are a scientist, or your not? Nevertheless, most creationist 'researchers', do unfortunatelly fit in or around that catagory.

Anyway, on the previous page I have a graph that shows mirror images of magnetic measurements (not sure what the technical jargon is for these measurements) on either side of an ocean ridge. Things got pretty silent after that.
I was trying to find a better graph of the data, but the graph I listed was the best I could find. Do you have better data handy? I have seen some pretty nifty graphs before, but wasn't able to find them.
--Most of the data I have is from my access to some of the AGU and GSA journals (eg. Geophysical Research Letters, Reviews of Geophysics, Journal of Geophysical Research (Solid Earth and Planets), Computational seismology and Geodynamics (largely useless for your inquiry), GSA Bulletin and GSA journal, Geology) as well as Geophysical monographs (AGU) and some copies from the AGU geodynamcis series.

--I also have some geomagnetic data that I posted who knows how many years ago on evcforum:
Data from:
Cox, Allan; 1973, Plate Tectonics and Geomagnetic Reversals
^check this book out, you'll love it if you are looking for plenty of geomagnetic data. It also anylizes the seafloor magnetic anomaly data against DRM (deposition [or detrital] remnant magnetism) paleomagnetic data which means the seafloor geomagnetic data wasn't just the result of tectonic activity on the seafloor or near a ridge (eg, like is implied by Brown's hydroplate theory).
--There is a lot we can learn from the study of geomagnetic data, and not just the unequivocally clear inference that there has been geomagnetic reversals and also that seafloor spreading is real. Probably the most intriguing thing observed in the history of the geomagnetic field is the change in frequency of reversal rate over time, especially since the breakup of pangea as is seen in the data:
--Why this pattern exists is interesting and may unlock many mysteries regarding what has influenced the behaviour of the geodynamo over time.
--Here is the Geomagnetic polarity time scale for 0 - 160 Mya:
--Of course you don't really get a full appreciation of geomagnetic anomalies until you've seen the actual intensity data plotted against 3D bathymetric data
in full color. I don't have an image of that, but I'll be on the lookout if I have time.
