Pole Positions of New Caledonian Laterites SUMMARY: The polar data frame has 50 rows and 2 columns. The data are the pole positions from a paleomagnetic study of New Caledonian laterites. DATA DESCRIPTION: This data frame contains the following columns: lat: The latitude (in degrees) of the pole position. Note that all latitudes are negative as the axis is taken to be in the lower hemisphere. long: The longitude (in degrees) of the pole position. SOURCE: The data were obtained from Fisher, N.I., Lewis, T. and Embleton, B.J.J. (1987) Statistical Analysis of Spherical Data. Cambridge University Press.
