Palaeomagnetism of the Guaniguanico Cordillera, western Cuba: a pilot study
LM Alva-Valdivia, A Goguitchaichvili… - Cretaceous …, 2001 - Elsevier
A palaeo-and rock-magnetic study was carried out on the Jurassic–Cretaceous
Guaniguanico Cordillera (15 sites, 112 oriented cores) in order to define a preliminary
magnetostratigraphy and to obtain some constraints on the tectonic evolution of western
Cuba. Rock-magnetic experiments indicate Ti-poor titanomagnetites as principal remanence
carriers. Two magnetic phases seem to be present in a few samples: some spinels, which
saturate at moderate magnetic fields and goethite, with higher coercivity. The presence of …
