Paleomagnetic results from the Lower Devonian Llandstadwell Formation, Dyfed, Wales

A paleomagnetic investigation of the Lower Devonian Llandstadwell Formation in southwest Wales has yielded a characteristic direction (declination = 196[deg], INCLINATION = -5[deg]) that passes a fold test. Comparison of the corresponding virtual geomagnetic pole (334[deg]E, 39[deg]S) to previously published poles for Great Britain indicates that the magnetization is secondary and likely to be of Carboniferous age. No evidence for post-Hercynian rotation of Pembrokeshire is indicated by our data.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/26486/1/0000022.pd
