Abstract
Abstract A paleomagnetic study has been made about the calc-alkaline lavas (Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene age) and the Plio-Quaternary basaltic alkaline lavas of the Logudoro and Bosano (North West Sardinia). This study is based on the chronological scale of the volcanic phases of this part of Sardinia; this scale was established on field observations and K/Ar datings. Hence, the authors propose a sketch of paleomagnetic stratigraphy and discuss the problem of the drifting of Sardinia in the course of Cenozoic time. They are lead to the conclusion that the move of Sardinia terminated at the moment when the calcalkaline lavas flowed into the Logudoro and the Bosano.
