Abstract: | The allochthonous Old Red Sandstone of Kvamshesten, western Norway, records polyphase orogenic deformation, and palaeomagnetic results from both the Devonian sediments and mylonites associated with the basal thrust define a syn- (to post-) tectonic magnetization withD = 218°,I = +3° and95 = 9.7°. The corresponding pole position (lat. 21°S, long. 324°E) suggests a Late Devonian/Early Carboniferous magnetization age (Solundian), and probably dates the time of thrust movements. |
