Rock Magnetic and Paleomagnetic Results of Devonian Deposits from the Pavlovsk Quarry (Voronezh Region)

Abstract—We present the results of magneto-mineralogical and paleomagnetic studies of the Pavlovsk quarry Middle and Upper Devonian section located in the Central Devonian Field (CDF) of the East European Platform. The studied deposits have a complex magnetic mineral composition, with up to 4–6 magnetic phases recorded. The section is subdivided into several zones based on magnetic mineralogy and observed characteristic components of natural remanent magnetization, but the boundaries of the zones do not coincide. Two interpretable characteristic components have been identified in the section, the bipolar Devonian component DE + DWrev and the anomalous component S1-2-3-4, whose paleomagnetic poles are consistent with those of several Devonian sections of the East European Platform.
