Estudio paleomagnético del volcanismo de Campos de Calatrava

Abstract

A first systematic paleomagnetic study has been carried out in the upper Miocene-Pliocene volcanísm of the Campos de Calatrava region. 78 localities have been sampled and 74 oi them yíelded useiul paleomagnetíc results. A Pliocene paleomagnetic pole has been obtaíned for the {be rían Plate (Lat.= 82.7°N, Long.= 771.6°E, A95= 6.9). On the basis of the magnetíc polarity results a zoníng oi the voJcanism may be recognízed which could be explaíned by a NE-wardmigration of the volcanism in thís regíon.
