Mesozoic Palaeomagnetic Scale of the USSR

Nature volume 244, pages 499–501 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

WORLD data on palaeomagnetic Mesozoic stratigraphy have been summarized by several people1–3. The integrated palaeomagnetic reversal columns they obtained differ from one another partly because they have been drawn up from different data and partly because of small differences in the criteria used to define the fundamental palaeomagnetic stratigraphical units—palaeomagnetic zones. Here we give regional palaeomagnetic columns (Fig. 1) obtained recently as a result of detailed palaeomagnetic investigations of Mesozoic sedimentary formations of the USSR.
