Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic investigations of the Changxing Permian‐Triassic section, Zhejiang Province, China

Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic experiments on the Triassic Yinkeng Formation and the Permian Changxing Formation sampled from the Permian‐Triassic type section, Changxing County, reveal that a high temperature primary direction is isolated in dolomitic samples from the Early Triassic but the Late Permian limestones samples appear to be remagnetized during the Jurassic. A Permian‐Triassic pole previously reported for the Changxing Formation from this section (Lin et al., 1985) is not in agreement with results from this study or other poles for that time interval reported for the Yangtze Block and may be remagnetized.
