pdf Carboniferous rocks of Western Spitsbergen Island: paleomagnetic data
The paper presents the results of studying the samples of rocks of the Carboniferous age collected in 1985 on Western Spitsbergen Island on the eastern coast of the Recherchfjorden. A paleomagnetic pole was obtained from Carboniferous rocks (Gypsdalen Group, Middle Carboniferous-Lower Permian). The paleomagnetic determinations for the island of Western Spitsbergen are compared with data on coeval rocks of the Russian Platform. An assessment of the mutual position of the island of Western Spitsbergen and the Russian Platform in the Early Devonian, Middle Carboniferous and Early Permian is given.

Keywords: paleomagnetism, Carboniferous rocks, paleomagnetic pole, Western Spitsbergen Island, Russian Platform.
