Volcanogenic sediments of the Fourchu Group and a gabbroic intrusion, which are found in the Avalonian terrane of south-eastern Cape Breton Island, have been sampled for paleomagnetic analysis. Upon detailed thermal and alternating-field demagnetization, three often-superimposed components of magnet...
