Scientific paper

We present a magnetostratigraphic study of two Carnian (late Triassic) pelagic limestone sections from the Northern Calcareous Alps (Mayerling section) and southwestern Turkey (Erenkolu Mezarlik section). Biostratigraphic control is based on conodont zonation for the Mayerling section, and both on conodonts and ammonoids for the Erenkolu Mezarlik section. In both sections, the characteristic magnetization is essentially carried by a mineral of the magnetite family. Eight magnetic intervals are obtained from the Mayerling section and fourteen from Erenkolu Mezarlik. When these results are compared to the Carnian magnetostratigraphic sequence obtained from the Bolucektasi Tepe section, satisfactory correlations are observed and a composite Carnian magnetic polarity time scale containing 24 intervals can be proposed by combining all these results. The lower part of the upper Carnian is however missing (Tuvalian 1 zone and lower part of the Tuvalian 2 zone). No clear correlation is observed between our composite sequence and the other published magnetostratigraphic data of Carnian age. The satisfactory correlation observed between the Mayerling and the Bolucektasi Tepe sections indicates that both sections were deposited in the northern hemisphere, thus providing constraints on the origin of the Antalya nappes.
