Abstract
The remanent magnetization of 10 oriented samples (30 specimens) from a site on the 100–200-m-broad, WNW.-striking dolerite dike at Tuve near Gothenburg in south-western Sweden has been measured after stepwise demagnetization in an alternating magnetic field of up to 1400 Oe. A stable, supposedly primary component of the remanent magnetization was isolated at F max = 500 Oe, revealing a north-palacopole position of 17°N., 59°E. (δp, δm = 2°, 3°).
A comparison with other known pole positions of “stable” Europe makes the dike about 800–900 m. y. old, corresponding to a Sveconorwegian (Dalslandian) age.
