Preliminary Rock and Palaeomagnetic Results from the (Neoproterozoic) Bhima Basin, India

Abstract

Palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic results of the samples from Lower Bhima Group are reported here. Magnetic cleaning by different techniques give an impression that these rocks are remagnetized. IRM studies indicate that the magnetic carrier in the lower and upper Sedam Subgroup of Bhima Group is hematite and magnetite respectively. Possibly this is also an indication of remagnetization of Bhima Group of rocks by Deccan lava flows
