II. Analysis of the paleomagnetism of the Torridonian sandstone series of North-West Scotland. I

Abstract

The permanent magnetization of the Diabaig, Applecross and Aultbea groups of the Torridonian sandstones of north-west Scotland has been measured. That of the latter two groups is along a NW negative/SE positive axis. Field evidence shows that the majority of these rocks were magnetized soon after deposition and have retained this magnetization substantially unaltered.
