Possible implications of the palaeomagnetic study of late palaeozoic igneous rocks of northwestern Corsica
Abstract Palaeomagnetic observations in more detail than heretofore require modification in detail of earlier, tentative, conclusions. The declination is significantly different from that obtained in the Esterel upon rocks believed to be of the same age. The simplest interpretation, a relative rotation of 25°, is consistent with known geology of both regions, the geophysics of the intervening region and with the matching of coast lines. The inclination value, however, is not in accord with the value predicted upon the basis of work in northern Europe.
