Scientific paper

Paleomagnetic studies of two Triassic formations from the Yangtze Block in China were undertaken with the aim of helping to refine the Apparent Polar Wander Path for the block. The samples were taken at four sites, two each from opposite limbs of a large syncline in Hunan Province so that a fold test could be applied. Results from the Early Triassic Daye and Early to Middle Triassic Jialingjiang Formations present evidence that these sites may have been rotated in a manner simular to two formations studied by Steiner et al. (1989). Both results pass a fold test, as do the sites of Steiner et al., and these data may have implications for large-scale rotations in the region. It is inferred from the close grouping of the data from this study, especially the Daye Formation, with the poles of Steiner et al. that the sites from both studies may have been rotated as a single unit.
