Abstract

Results are provided for paleotectonic reconstruction of the East European platform in middle Paleozoic on paleomagnetic data. Object of research are Silurian and Lower Devonian gray- and red colored limestone, sandstone and mudstones taken from reference sections of Podillya. In most of the samples "metachronous" component of the magnitezation were detected which is interpreted by us as secondary caused by the Late Paleozoic - Early Mesozoic rocks remagnetizations. Also primary components of the magnetization were deduced with coordinates: 15 ° S, 350 ° E - Silurian sediments, 0 ° S, 329 ° E - sediments of the tiver series Lower Devonian; 3,8 ° S, 337,8 ° E - sediments of the dniester Series Lower Devonian. According to the study the drift of the East European platform in the middle Paleozoic can be described as a rotation around the pole Euler coordinates Φ = 46 º S, Λ = 64 º E to 16 º.
