Red siltstones and volcanic flows of the Fisset Brook Formation of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, were folded or tilted in two phases, one of Late Tournaisian and the other of Mid-Namurian age. Upon thermal demagnetization, both rock types yield three components of magnetization, herein denoted as...
