Palaeomagnetic samples were collected at 33 Triassic localities from three nappes and a pseudo-autochthonous unit in the Aggtelek-Rudabánya Mountains in order to establish the rotation pattern of the area as a whole with respect to the enclosing principal continents, and to check whether relative movements in the past between the various units that make up the region are resolvable by the palaeomagnetic data.
After detailed thermal demagnetization and careful data selection it has emerged that the entire study area was rotated anticlockwise with respect to both Europe and Africa, i.e., in a similar manner and to a similar degree as other units in the Central Mediterranean region (e.g., the Transdanubian Central Mountains).
On the other hand, small-scale relative movements such as those between the Aggtelek and Rudabánya areas are not apparent in the present data.
