THE PALAEOMAGNETISM OF SOME TERTIARY IGNEOUS ROCKS FROM UBEKENDT EJLAND

Paleocene intrusive rocks were found to be magnetically unstable, but six lavas, some 64 years old, yielded stable magnetic directions cor-responding to a pole position at 54 N 152 W. The precision of the palaeomagnetic and radiometric determinations are inadequate to distinguish age differences bet...

Description
Summary:Paleocene intrusive rocks were found to be magnetically unstable, but six lavas, some 64 years old, yielded stable magnetic directions cor-responding to a pole position at 54 N 152 W. The precision of the palaeomagnetic and radiometric determinations are inadequate to distinguish age differences between these rocks and those of the North Atlantic Tertiary Province but a small difference of some 5 million years is suspected.
