Abstract

Paleomagnetism presents the paleo-bioclimatologist for the first time with an independent determination of latitude. In combination with paleogeography a reconstruction of climatic zones for the geologic periods can be attempted by taking into account the principles underlying the present distribution of climate. This was attempted for the Permian of Europe and the Triassic, Permian and Pennsylvanian (U. Carboniferous) of North America. An extension of this method can be of great importance in future paleo-ecological and bioclimatological studies if the underlying principles of Paleomagnetism prove to be correct.
