pdf Paleomagnetism of Mesozoic igneous section of the Western Spitsbergen Island
The paper presents the results of the study of paleomagnetic Mesozoic rocks samples collected in the period 1984-1987 on Western Spitsbergen Island. Paleomagnetic poles were obtained for three outcrops of dolerites in Isfjorden and Sassenfjorden. To compare new and existing data, a trajectory of apparent migration of the paleomagnetic pole for Spitsbergen area in the Middle Carboniferous – Jurassic interval was constructed. A comparison with the trajectories of paleomagnetic pole migration across the East European Platform and Eurasia was made.

Keywords: paleomagnetism, paleomagnetic pole, Mesozoic section, dolerites, Western Spitsbergen Island.
