The Meso-Cenozoic paleomagnetic poles from the Siberian platform and its folded margins, which comply with the modern technical and methodological standards, are analyzed. The analysis suggests the following conclusions. (1) The geometrical relationship between the Permo-Triassic poles of the Stable Europe and Siberian Platform prohibits the possibility of relative displacements of these platforms in the post-Paleozoic time. (2) The Mesozoic paleomagnetic poles of the Siberian Platform support the hypothesis of rigid Northern Eurasia. (3) The paleolatitudes of the Mesozoic sections located on the folded margins of the Siberian Platform closely agree with the Apparent Polar Wandering Path (APWP) for Europe. (4) The available data indicate that the vertical-axis rotation of separate local blocks within the folded margins of the Siberian Platform was a widespread phenomenon. Therefore, (1) the modern paleomagnetic data quite certainly show that consolidation of the Northern Eurasian continent was completed by the end of Permian, and, since the very beginning of the Mesozoic, the Siberian and East-European platforms have been parts of a single rigid megablock. (2) The Meso-Cenozoic segment of the APWP for Europe can be used as reference for the Siberian platform. 相似文献

In order to test two different proposals for the poorly defined African Paleozoic apparent polar wander path (APWP), a paleomagnetic study was carried out on Ordovician through Carboniferous clastic sediments from the Cape Fold belt, west of the 22nd meridian. One proposal involves a relatively simple APWP connecting the Ordovician Gondwana poles in North Africa with the Late Paleozoic poles to the east of South Africa in a more or less straight line crossing the present equator in the Devonian. The other proposal adds a loop to this path, connecting Ordovician poles in North Africa with poles to the southwest of South Africa and then returning to central Africa. This loop would occur mainly in Silurian time. New results reported herein yield paleopoles in northern and central Africa for Ordovician to lowermost Silurian and Lower to Middle Devonian formations. The best determined paleopole of our study is for the Early Ordovician Graafwater Formation and falls at 28°N, 14°E (k = 25, α95 = 8.8°, N = 28 samples). The other paleopoles are not based on sufficient numbers of samples, but can help to constrain the apparent polar wander path for Gondwana. Our results give only paleopoles well to the north of South Africa and we observe no directions within the proposed loop. Hence, if the loop is real, it must have been of relatively short duration (60–70 Ma) and be essentially of Silurian/Early Devonian age, implying very high drift velocities for Gondwana (with respect to the pole) during that interval. 相似文献

The paleomagnetic study of the Lower Ordovician and Cambrian sedimentary rocks exposed on the Narva River’s right bank revealed a multicomponent composition of natural remanent magnetization. Among four distinguished medium- and high-temperature magnetization components, the bipolar component, which carries the reversal test, is probably the primary component and reflects the geomagnetic field direction and variations during the Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician. The pole positions corresponding to this component have coordinates 22°N, 87°E (dp/dm = 5°/6°) for the Late Cambrian, and 18°N, 55°E (dp/dm = 5°/7°) for the Early Ordovician (Tremadocian and Arenigian). Together with the recently published paleomagnetic poles for the sections of the Early Ordovician in the Leningrad Region and the series of poles obtained when the Ordovician limestones were studied in Sweden, these poles form new key frameworks for the Upper Cambrian-Middle Ordovician segment of the apparent polar-wander path (APWP) for the Baltica. Based on these data, we propose a renewed version of the APWP segment: the model of the Baltica motion as its clockwise turn by 68° around the remote Euler pole. This motion around the great circle describes (with an error of A95 = 10°) both variations in the Baltic position from 500 to 456 Ma ago in paleolatitude and its turn relative to paleomeridians. According to the monopolar components of natural remanent magnetization detected in the Narva rocks, the South Pole positions are 2°S, 351°E (dp/dm = 5°/9°), 39°S, 327°E, (dp/dm = 4°/7°), and 42°S and 311°E (dp/dm = 9°/13°). It is assumed that these components reflect regional remagnetization events in the Silurian, Late Permian, and Triassic. 相似文献

Methods of selecting paleomagnetic data for the construction of apparent polar wander paths (APWPs) are analyzed. It is shown that the existing criteria of reliability of paleomagnetic data cannot be regarded as evidence for their validity. In other words, no unambiguous dependence exists between the reliability and the closeness of paleomagnetic poles to a hypothetical region crossed by the reliable APWP. A new approach to the construction of paleomagnetic APWPs based on simple principles (principle of space and principle of time) is proposed. Using a numerical implementation of this algorithm, three stable clusters were determined (L p = 164, F p = 43; L p = 144, F p = 13; and L p = 170, F p = ?2); the respective maximum estimates of their ages are 248–251, 345, and 385 Ma. These clusters can be regarded as reliable paleomagnetic poles in the Paleozoic of the East European platform. 相似文献

The collections of Carboniferous rocks from sections of the Russian Platform (Gzhelian, Moscovian, Bashkirian, and Visean stages) are studied. The new mean paleomagnetic poles are obtained from the Gzhelian, Moscovian, and Visean layers of the Carboniferous of the Russian Platform. In the redbed Gzhelian and Moscovian rocks, the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) components with the inclination shallowing are revealed, which is due to the presence of the large hematite particles or particle aggregates associated with the interaction between the magnetic and clay particles. Based on the obtained determinations and the results contained in the World paleomagnetic database, the trajectory of the apparent polar wander path (APWP) for the East European Platform is constructed in the interval from the Devonian to Early Permian. The Carboniferous kinematics of the East European Platform is estimated. 相似文献

Paleomagnetic samples were collected from 190 m of the Late Carboniferous/Early Permian Casper Formation in southeastern Wyoming. A total of 549 samples was drilled near the vicinity of Horse Creek Station at an average stratigraphic interval of 33 cm. All samples were reversely magnetized. Rock magnetic analyses indicate that the primary carrier of remanence in the formation is hematite. A selection criterion applied to the partial demagnetized data restricted the sample population to 233, resulting in a paleomagnetic North Pole located at 47.4°N, 127.4°E (δp=0.7;δm=1.4). The Casper pole agrees well with other Late Carboniferous/Early Permian poles for cratonic North America. The tight clustering of these paleomagnetic poles suggests that little apparent polar motion with respect to North America occurred during this time. Comparing the stable North American poles with paleomagnetic poles from Late Carboniferous/Early Permian strata of the New England-Canadian Maritime region (Acadia) indicates that this region did not reach its present position relative to North America until at least the Early Permian. 相似文献

A paleomagnetic and potassium-argon dating investigation has been carried out on a 530-km-long dike system which transects the western Iberian Peninsula in a northeasterly direction. The K-Ar age determinations were made on mineral separates exclusively. They range between 160 and 200 Ma and the authors suppose that this reflects the actual time interval of the intrusion, in accord with previous results. The paleomagnetic pole derived from 12 sites regularly distributed along the dike (71°N, 236°E) coincides well with other Mesozoic paleomagnetic poles from the western Africa. A contemporaneous pole from stable Europe is tentatively deduced from African and North American Late Triassic/Early Jurassic poles using different reconstruction models around the North Atlantic Ocean. The divergence between this pole and the Iberian pole corresponds to the result obtained for Permian poles. 相似文献

Paleomagnetic study was performed on Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks from Peru and northernmost Chile. Comparisons of these results as well as other data from the Central Andes with paleomagnetic poles from South American craton strongly support the orocline hypothesis of Carey for the formation of the Arica (Santa Cruz) deflection. Paleomagnetic declinations of Jurassic and Cretaeous rocks are quite similar to the direction of the present-day structural trend in the Central Andes, which suggests that the mountain belt has rotated in a coherent fashion (i.e., rigid body rotation) in sections of the Central Andes. The occurrence of this deformation is certainly post-Cretaceous, with some suggestion that rotation still continued as recently as Neogene. The mechanism of this deformation is not well known, but a differential stretching of the Amazon Basin behind the Peruvian Andes is a possibility. 相似文献

The survey of radiometric and paleomagnetic work on the mafic rocks of South Carolina is consistent with, and amplifies the studies on the acidic rocks of the southeast by Ellwood (1982). The westerly post-early Mesozoic tilt of the southeastern Appalachians proposed by Dooley and Smith (1982) over most of the Piedmont balances out the post-late Paleozoic southeastern tilt of Ellwood (1982). Only in the Elberton-Sparta block is the tilting important and here the interpretation proposed is of a greater initial tilt (approximately 25–30°) reduced by the post-early Mesozoic tilt.There is no evidence of displaced terrains as far as the King's Mountain, Charlotte, and Slate belts are concerned at least since 300 m.y. ago and perhaps as early as 350 m.y. ago. The anomalous paleomagnetic data from the Kiokee belt is best interpreted as due to tectonic displacements associated with the late Paleozoic event described by Secor and Snoke (1978) and Snokeet al. (1980).The paleopoles of the mafic rocks are in agreement with paleopoles on the North American apparent polar wander path (APWP) at about 300 m.y. The resolution of K–Ar apparent ages of 350 m.y. or older will require40Ar/39Ar studies and such age relationships are critical to the reasonable application of tilt corrections in the southern Appalachians. 相似文献

Many features of the Cenozoic tectonic history of central and southeastern Asia can be understood as direct consequences of the thrust and penetration of India into Asia. Recent indentation experiments with plasticine (Tapponnier et al. [7]) have extended this idea and have led to the prediction of a pattern of large rotations and displacements of continental blocks that can be tested by paleomagnetism. The available Cretaceous and Cenozoic paleomagnetic data from this part of the world have been reviewed and a new APWP for Eurasia has been constructed for reference. The negligible rotation of South China and large clockwise rotation of Indochina are consistent with the model, i.e., with an history of large-scale left-lateral strike-slip motion along the Altyn Tagh and Red River faults. Data from Malaya and Borneo can be reconciled with the model, although in a less straightforward fashion. The large counter clockwise rotation of South Tibet implies that it rotated in sympathy with India during the collision and suggests that future indentation experiments should include this feature. Finally a middle Cretaceous reconstruction of the south margin of Asia is proposed. One interesting result is the restored continuity of geological features in Tibet and Indochina, with active subduction of oceanic (Indian plate) crust taking place to the south at subtropical latitudes. 相似文献

过去发表的石炭纪古地理重建图存在着不少问题,特别是对亚洲各板块位置的认识上。例如,过去的重建图中华北和华南在石炭纪末都处于北半球40°—50°纬度带,但是,地层古生物资料清楚地表明,它们当时处于热带和亚热带环境。这是因为在编制上述古地理图时(70年代末和80年代初),华南和华北等东亚和东南亚地块还没有可靠的古地磁数据,因而这一地区的地块的位置是由距它们最近的西伯利亚地台的地极位置推算出来的。但是,由于这些地块和西伯利亚地台自石炭纪以来曾发生过相对运动,因此,上述作法是不合理的 相似文献

We report detailed rock-magnetic and paleomagnetic directional data from 35 lava flows (302 standard paleomagnetic cores)
sampled in the Central-Northern region of Uruguay in order to contribute to the study of the paleosecular variation of the
Earth’s magnetic field during early Cretaceous and to obtain precise Cretaceous paleomagnetic pole positions for stable South
America. The average unit direction is rather precisely determined from 29 out of 35 sites. All A95 confidence angles are less than 8°, which points to small within-site dispersion and high directional stability. Normal polarity
magnetizations are revealed for 19 sites and 10 are reversely magnetized. Two other sites yield well defined intermediate
polarities. The mean direction, supported by a positive reversal test is in reasonably good agreement with the expected paleodirection
for Early Cretaceous stable South America and in disagreement with a 10° clockwise rotation found in the previous studies.
On the other hand, paleomagnetic poles are significantly different from the pole position suggested by hotspot reconstructions,
which may be due to true polar wander or the hotspot motion. Our data suggest a different style of secular variation during
(and just before) the Cretaceous Normal Superchron and the last 5 Ma, supporting a link between paleosecular variation and
reversal frequency. 相似文献

Summary A reconnaissance paleomagnetic study of Hispaniola shows that three igneous units in the Dominican Republic possess meaningful directions of magnetism. A Late Cretaceous tonalite, an Eocene pyroxene diorite and a Miocene andesite porphyry have been investigated. The rock material studied is fresh, and has not been affected by secondary oxidation except in the case of the andesite which is occasionally weathered and reveals some hydrothermal alteration. Alternating field and thermal demagnetization result in removal of viscous remanence in some samples, while others reveal a good stability of NRM and little change in direction. The results disclose directions of magnetization substantially different from that of the present earth's field in Hispaniola and from those obtained from contemporaneous rocks of North America. They yield paleomagnetic poles at 23.1° N, 144.9° W for the Cretaceous tonalite and at 17.4° N, 138.0° W for the Eocene diorite, the positions of which are not significantly different from each other, suggesting no change of geomagnetic field direction during the two epochs. These poles have generally similar positions to those obtained from Late Cretaceous rocks on Jamaica and Puerto Rico. The Miocene data fall into two groups, one having a direction corresponding to a pole closely coinciding with the Miocene North American pole and the other giving a paleomagnetic pole at 68.3° N, 151.9° W coinciding with the Miocene pole for Jamaica. Paleotectonic interpretation of the results suggests that like other Greater Antilles, Hispaniola has been subject to large anticlockwise rotation since Late Cretaceous. 相似文献

Four mafic and two dioritic igneous bodies intruding along the flanks of the Charlotte belt, within the King's Mountain belt and near the Slate-Kiokee-Charlotte belt boundaries in the South Carolina Piedmont, were studied paleomagnetically. The results suggest that these mafic rocks with a single characteristic magnetization are broadly contemporaneous. A mean paleomagnetic pole position of 38.9°N 120.8°E has been calculated for the six bodies. This pole position falls near the 300 Ma old point of Irving's apparent polar wander path (APWP) for North America. The α95 circle of confidence (10.2°) includes points on the APWP between 250–360 Ma. Anomalously old KAr apparent ages, greater than one billion years, are suggestive of excess 40Ar contamination for the mafic Buffalo pluton, whereas apparent ages in the range of 360–395 Ma old are interpreted as a maximum age for the other bodies, due to the possibility of small amounts of excess 40Ar being present. A 10° westerly tilt correction suggested by Dooley and Smith for early Mesozoic diabase brings the mafic pole position of this study to more nearly coincide with the 350 Ma virtual geomagnetic position of Irving's curve, but the test is inconclusive, awaiting better definition of radiometric ages. The simplest interpretation of the data is that the mafic pole position reflects the direction of the geomagnetic field in late Devonian Carboniferous times. The similarity of this pole position with the points on the APWP for North America provides little evidence for displaced terrains and, with the precision of this pole position, horizontal displacements on the order of that suggested by the Consortium for Continental Reflection Profile (COCORP) results, or by subsequent studies, are not detectable. This and other pole positions from granitic rocks in the southern Appalachian orogen suggest that if displaced terrains exist, the evidence must be found in older rocks, or in other geologic belts. 相似文献

Paleornagnetic data, during the Phanerozoic obtained in the last 20 years in the Yangtze Block (YZB), are critically reviewed. A new apparent polar wander path (APWP) for the YZB is constructed by selected poles with objective reliable criteria, with a goal of placing constraints on the models of the formation and subsequent deformation and reconstructing the tectonic evolution history of this region. 相似文献

The results of palaeomagnetic surveys of Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks from Gondwanaland can be reconciled with the results of modelling the evolution of oceanic floors from analyses of marine magnetic anomalies. Previous inconsistencies were mainly due to errors apparent in the Australian Cenozoic palaeomagnetic data. An alternative Tertiary apparent polar wander path (APWP) has been constructed from an analysis of all published laterite and weathered profile data. Palaeomagnetic results for Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India, Madagascar and South America are compared for rotations corresponding to marine magnetic anomalies 16, 22, 28, 34 and M1 and for “fit”. India has been selected as the reference continent since it provides the most detailed APWP having drifted about 50° of latitude since breakup. 相似文献

A rock magnetic and paleomagnetic investigation was performed on some selected, radiometrically dated lava flows from the Mascota Volcanic Field (MVF), western Trans- Mexican Volcanic Belt. A set of rock-magnetic experiments and standard paleomagnetic analysis were carried out on 19 sites spanning the time interval from 2268 to 72 kyr. The paleomagnetic directions are anchored to absolute radiometric ages while no such information was available in previous studies. This makes possible to correctly evaluate the fluctuation of Earth’s magnetic field from Pliocene to Pleistocene and reveal the firm evidence of possible Levantine excursion. Both Ti-poor and Ti-rich titanomagnetites seem to carry the remanent magnetization with Curie temperatures ranging from 350°C to 537°C. Thirteen flows correspond to the Brunhes chron, one of them exhibits transitional directions, while the remaining six sites belong to the Matuyama chron. New and existing dataset for MVF were used to estimate the paleosecular variation parameters. The selected data include 35 Plio-Quaternary lava flows. After excluding the poor quality data, as well as the transitional directions, the mean paleodeclination is 356.1° and oaleoinclination 39.9°, which agree well with the geocentric axial dipole (GAD) and the expected paleodirections for the Plio-Pleistocene, as derived from the reference poles for the stable North America. The corresponding mean paleomagnetic poles are paleolongitude 226.7° and paleolatitude 86.0°. The virtual geomagnetic pole scatter for the MVF is 15.2°, which is consistent with the value expected from model G at latitude of 20° (this model provides an interpretation of the paleosecular variation at different latitudes for the time of interest). The combined paleomagnetic data, supported by positive reversal test, indicate no paleomagnetically detectable vertical-axis rotations in the study area. The evidence of one transitional directions was detected, which may correspond to the Levantine excursion (360-370 kyr) or unnamed event between 400-420 kyr. 相似文献

We present the results of studying the paleomagnetic samples of Carboniferous and Devonian rocks collected in 1986–1987 from the Island of Spitsbergen. The paleomagnetic poles determined from these collections are compared to the poles from the coeval rocks of the Russian Platform. On the basis of these results and the available data of the World paleomagnetic database, the paleogeographic layout of Spitsbergen and the Russian Platform in Early Devonian and Early Triassic are reconstructed. The reconstructions demonstrate a common north-northwestern drift of these units from the southern equatorial latitudes in the Early Devonian to the middle northern latitudes with a small (800 km) convergence, compared to this drift, of Spitsbergen with the Russian Platform by the Early Triassic, which is followed by the subsequent retrograde motion. 相似文献
