New constraints on the Upper Permian and Lower Triassic geomagnetic polarity timescale from the Abadeh section (central Iran)

Abstract

We present the magnetostratigraphy of the Abadeh section (central Iran). Thermal demagnetization shows two magnetic components: one at low unblocking temperatures, which corresponds to a present day-field direction, and another at high temperatures. This second component, which contains both polarities, is interpreted as a primary magnetization acquired during sediment deposition at a paleolatitude of about 7.7øS. A sequence of 14 magnetic polarity zones is obtained in the intervals during the Upper Dzhulfian-Lower Changhsingian (Upper Permian) and during the Griesbachian (Lower Triassic). Combining data from south China, Canada, Pakistan, and Iran, we propose a composite (but still uncomplete) Upper Permian and Lower Triassic geomagnetic polarity timescale.
