  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Paleomagnetic directions obtained from nonwelded pyroclastic-flow deposits that were emplaced at Mount St. Helens, Washington, in 1980 have a precision and accuracy similar to data obtainable from lava flows. It is concluded that nonwelded pyroclastic-flow deposits, like lava flows, are suitable for studies of magnetic secular variation. Although clast rotations apparently caused an “inclination error” in the paleomagnetic directions, the error is a few degrees at most.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
