Paleomagnetic results from igneous rock units on the Belcher Islands, Hudson Bay, are described. Fold tests for all units studied, as well as a contact test for the intrusive bodies, indicate that both primary (initial), and secondary (post-folding) magnetizations are present.The paleomagnetic pole...
