Palaeomagnetic Results from the Gordon Subgroup of Tasmania: Further Evidence for a Late Cretaceous Magnetic Overprint in Southeastern Australia
A thermal demagnetization study of 48 limestone samples from the Ordovician Gordon Subgroup of Ida Bay (Tasmania), indicated complete remagnetization (D = 9 .4 , I= - 81 . 4,k = 137.5, a95 = l . 3o, N = 92 South pole position 59.85 1 41.1E, dp = 2 . 4, dm = 2 . 5)during Late Cretaceous or less likel...
