Аннотация:Magnetic anomaly identifications underpin plate tectonic reconstructions and form theprimary data set from which the age of the oceanic lithosphere and seafloor spreading regimes in theocean basins can be determined. Although these identifications are an invaluable resource, their usefulnessto the wider scientific community has been limited due to the lack of a central community infrastructure toorganize, host, and update these interpretations. We have developed an open-source, community-drivenonline infrastructure as a repository for quality-checked magnetic anomaly identifications from all oceanbasins. We provide a global sample data set that comprises 96,733 individually picked magnetic anomalyidentifications organized by ocean basin and publication reference, and provide accompanying Hellinger-format files, where available. Our infrastructure is designed to facilitate research in plate tectonicreconstructions or research that relies on an assessment of plate reconstructions, for both experts andnonexperts alike. To further enhance the existing repository and strengthen its value, we encourage othersin the community to contribute to this effort.
