Preliminary paleomagnetic study of granitic and sedimentary rocks from the Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains crustal block (EVH), Vest Antarctica, leads to the following conclusions: (1) The EVH has a paleogole for the Middle Jurassic located at 235°E, 41°S, (α₉₅ = 5.3, N = 8 sites) assuming that no wide...
