Abstract

New results for the Carboniferous rocks (Moscovian, Bashkirian and Visean stages) from four sections of the Russian Platform are presented. Primary magnetite and secondary hematite are the main carriers of magnetization in the studied rocks. All isolated NRM components generally correspond to the geomagnetic field of reversed polarity. Only in the rocks of the Visean stage a small zone of normal polarity is found. Widespread late Paleozoic remagnetization of the Carboniferous rocks of the Russian Platform is detected.
