Palaeomagnetism of Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic rocks of South America
Further geological evidence and radiometric studies of South American igneous rocks suggest, (i) a Middle Permian age for geomagnetic poles until now quoted as Permo-Triassic or Lower Triassic, and (ii) a Middle-Upper Triassic age for a geomagnetic pole previously quoted either as Middle or Upper Tr...
