Communication: Further paleomagnetic evidence for a possible tectonic rotation of Mexico
Only a few paleomagnetic data are available on Mexican rocks (Pal and Urrutia, 1977). Urrutia, and Pal (1977) based on a study of Tertiary rocks from Jalisco have pointed out the possibility of tectonic rotation of Mexico with respect to 'stable' North America. This 'note' report...

| Sumario: | Only a few paleomagnetic data are available on Mexican rocks (Pal and Urrutia, 1977). Urrutia, and Pal (1977) based on a study of Tertiary rocks from Jalisco have pointed out the possibility of tectonic rotation of Mexico with respect to 'stable' North America. This 'note' reports further pole positions for Mexico computed from data of Nairn et al. (I 975) which support the hypothesis of tectonic rotation. |
