Scientific paper

Paleomagnetic samples were collected from Uppermost Permian to Middle Triassic limestones from two localities in the Sichuan Basin in order to better constrain the paleography of the blocks now comprising China. Corresponding remanences found in other studies of the Permo-Triassic rocks from the Sichuan Basin are reviewed, and it is shown that the component is probably characteristic of the Lower Triassic. The difference between the Emeishan Basalts and the Sichuan Basin poles is interpreted to be the result of motion of the whole South China Block around the time of the Permo-Triassic boundary rather than that of strain within the block.
