2.1. Preperation of the Samples
The sediment outcrop in the cave was made into a smooth plane and the
samples for the paleomagnetism measurements were taken by pushing the
plastic boxes (2x2x2 cm; 8cc) into the sediment (Fig. 3). We used a
common geological compass (produced by the Brunton) for measuring the
azimuth and tilt of the sample boxes. After the paleomagnetism sampling,
another 4 samples were placed in the plastic boxes for the rock
magnetism measurements (Fig. 3c). These samples were taken from the same
depth as the paleomagnetic samples (13_0P, 7_7P, 17_2M, 22_0M). The
thickness of the sampled part of the sedimentary section was 35.1 cm.
The upper backwater (water accumulation) fine sediment part was brown
clayey silt with white angular clasts of weathered limestone and bone
fragments (Bed No. 1) (Kadlec et al., 2014). The lower part of the
section consisted of the brown silty clay without white clasts (Bed No.
2) (Kadlec et al., 2014) which is presented in Fig. 3.
