Scientific paper

Tongaporutuan Stage (Late Miocene, 11-6 Myr) sedimentary rocks at two localities within the axial tectonic belt of New Zealand have a direction of magnetisation in which the declination is 020 +/- 11° and 030 +/- 8° (D +/- Δ95). The directions of magnetisation in rocks of similar age outside the belt have a declination like that of the earth's present axial dipole, 360°. The clockwise deviation of the declination is inferred to indicate bending of the rocks within the zone of deformation between the Pacific and Indian plates due to the oblique convergence of these plates.
