Y. Gallet et al., NORIAN MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY FROM THE SCHEIBLKOGEL SECTION, AUSTRIA - CONSTRAINT ON THE ORIGIN OF THE ANTALYA NAPPES, TURKEY, Earth and planetary science letters, 140(1-4), 1996, pp. 113-122
Late Triassic magnetostratigraphic investigations in southwestern Turk
ey have suggested that parts of the Antalya Nappes are constituted of
a melange of blocks originally deposited either in the vicinity of the
northern tip of Arabia or, more surprisingly, directly north of India
, in the southern hemisphere. In order to ascertain this result more c
learly, we have correlated the Turkish series with Austrian sections o
f corresponding age from the Northern Calcareous Alps, for which the h
emisphere of deposition is beyond doubt. The new magnetostratigraphic
results obtained from the Scheiblkogel section (Austria) confirm the p
reviously suggested middle to late Norian magnetic polarity sequence a
nd support the heterogeneous character of the Antalya Nappes.
