Abstract
The results of remanent magnetic studies on eight of the nine Deccan Trap flows in the vicinity of Sagar (23°56′ N: 78°38′ E) are presented. It is found that the lower four flows in the sequence are of ‘reversed’ magnetic polarity. Of the upper four flows, the top and the bottom ones show ‘intermediate’ directions while the two flows sandwiched between these are ‘normal’. These results suggest a transitional stage between the polarity inversion of the geomagnetic field from ‘reversed’ to ‘normal’ during the eruption of these Deccan Trap flows. The remanent magnetic directions of these ‘reversed’ and ‘normal’ flows show fairly shallow inclinations and are comparable to the remanent magnetic directions of the Pavagarh basalts.
