Carboniferous granites and granitoids, varying in age from 305 to 281 Ma, from the Sudet mountains (latitude 51N, longitude 16E), Poland, carry dual-polarity magnetic components consisting of an inferred primary high-temperature A-component found in the Strzegom Granite, the Karkonosze Granite with the bordering Karpacz Hornfels and the Kudowa Granitoid and scattered low-stability components of Mesozoic-Tertiary age present in all rocks except the Strzegom Granite. The group-A component defines a palaeomagnetic pole position (D = 202, I = - 12, α95 = 13.0, N = 4, calculated palaeomagnetic pole position 42°S, 346°E) which is in good agreement with palaeomagnetic results from rocks of similar age in western Europe, thus implying that no major tectonic movement has taken place in the Sudets relative to stable Europe since Upper Carboniferous times.
