Abstract

The paper presents the results of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic studied of upper Permian continental red beds of the Sukhoborka and Sosnovka sections of the south-eastern part of the Moscow syneclise on the right bank of the Vetluga river in Nizhniy Novgorod region, Russia. Arguments in favor of the primary nature of the characteristic component of magnetization are given. A first securely dated upper Permian (254 Ma) paleomagnetic pole of the east part of the East European Platform is calculated: slat = 56.731°N, slong = 45.748°E, N = 44, plat = 55.3°, plong = 158.1°, dp/dm = 3.5°/5.1°, paleolat = 34.6°.
