dc.description.abstract | Samples were collected from ten sites of the Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician Jim Pond Formation for paleomagnetic study. Stepwise thermal demagnetization reveals three separable components of magnetization. Component I is typically removed by 350[deg]C; it is subparallel to the present day field (354[deg]/ + 76[deg] vs. 342[deg]/ + 72[deg]) at the site location (45.3[deg]N, 289.4[deg]E) and is considered to be a recent partial overprint. Component II, without tilt-correction, is a south-southeasterly and shallow direction (mean: 165[deg]/0[deg], k = 31.4, a95 = 8.6[deg]) that is removed over an intermediate temperature range (350-600[deg]C). Component III, without tilt-correction, is a northeasterly and shallow, upward direction (mean: 10[deg]/-24[deg], k = 21.5, a95 = 7.3[deg]) and is removed over the highest temperature range (480[deg] to 690[deg]C). Though not statistically significant, for Components II and III the precision parameter, k, decreases and the [alpha]95 increases when tilt-correction is applied, suggesting that both are post-folding magnetizations.Component II, without tilt correction, has a corresponding paleomagnetic pole located at 43[deg]N, 130[deg]E (dp, dm = 4.3[deg], 8.6[deg]), which falls near the Late Carboniferous segment of the Laurentian Apparent Polar Wander Path (APWP). Component III, without tilt correction, has a corresponding pole located at 32[deg]N, 98[deg]E (dp, dm = 4.7[deg], 7.8[deg]), which falls near the Lower-Middle Devonian segment of the APWP. We conclude that the Jim Pond Formation has undergone two Paleozoic remagnetization events, one in the Early to Middle Devonian and a second one in the Late Paleozoic. The ages of these remagnetizations coincide with the timing of major orogenic activity in the area i.e. the Acadian and Alleghenian, respectively. The remagnetization event associated with the Acadian pulse can be recognized in other paleomagnetic investigations in the northern Appalachians. | en_US |
