Abstract
The secondary (metachronous) magnetization components identified in the Precambrian complexes of the Karelian Craton have been analyzed. The average directions of high-temperature components (deviations from the true direction) have been calculated based on the contribution of secondary magnetization components resulting from tectonomagmatic events of uneven ages. The Precambrian key poles often coincide with the vector sum of the Phanerozoic magnetization components of uneven ages. The conclusion on the primary/secondary origin of the Precambrian paleomagnetic poles should be made on the basis of the integrated petro- and paleomagnetic and isotope data and geological correlations, rather than based on only the paleomagnetic reliability tests.
