a Equal area projections of site-mean directions of the high-temperature component for the Inakura Formation of the Inakura area (with an associated 95% confidence limit) and b those drawn together with site-mean directions of the Ohyamashimo Formation (Sasayama Group) of the Sasayama area (Uno and Furukawa 2005) (recalculated at the Inakura area). Note that the directions from the Sasayama area, in the tilt-corrected coordinate, are given as directions at the optimum percentage of unfolding. The star and bold circle represent the mean direction and associated 95% confidence limit, respectively. The asterisk and diamond represent the Earth’s present field direction and axial dipole field direction, respectively
