Source code

Thellier selection criteria statistics are based on the Standard Paleointensity Definitions v1.1 (Paterson et al., 2014). The calculations for the Multispecimen protocol are based on the VBA-based software tool presented by Monster et al., (2015).

The Python source code used for all calculations are publicly available on GitHub and the source code for version 1.0.0 can be accessed through the Zenodo repository DOI

Demo data

  • The demo data for Thermal Thellier consist of a sub-set of the calibration data set presented along the SPD.
  • The Microwave Thellier demo data shows two specimens from the East Eifel, Germany (Monster et al., 2018).
  • For pseudo-Thellier the demo data consists of four sediment specimens from the Taranto Gulf in the Mediterranean, providing relative intensity values (Béguin et al., 2019).
  • For the Multispecimen protocol the demo data comprises a sub-set of the test data for the VBA-based MSP-Tool (Monster et al., 2015) and two sites from Hawaii (de Groot et al., 2013).
