As part of a major study of the Avalon zone in Cape Breton Island, we describe the paleomagnetism of radiometrically well-studied granitic rocks of two generations, representing the Acadian (350–450 Ma) and the Avalonian (520–580 Ma) Orogenies, respectively. Detailed alternating field (AF) and therm...
