A combination of paleomagnetic and geologic evidence establishes that the remagnetization occurred during Late Jurassic time and that the rocks have experienced no major tectonic movement since. This conclusion establishes an eastern limit for the extent of large-scale tectonic rotations recently reported for Tertiary units on the western edge of the North American continent.

The Ailao Shan fault zone in West Yunnan represents a suture boundary between South China and Indosinian Cratons. Preliminary paleomagnetic results from three sites in Sichuan, Guichou, and Yunnan Provinces reveal a 14° northward migration of South China Craton between Late Permian and Middle Triassic. The two cratons were separated by about 20° latitudes during the Early Triassic. The tectonic setting of East Asia during the Triassic was probably analogous to the present Indonesian region.

A magnetic polarity stratigraphy is established for the sediments of Site 397, which is located on the northwest African continental margin off Cape Bojador at the continental rise/slope juncture.The magnetic stratigraphy can be correlated with established geomagnetic polarity time-scales by some use of concurrent biostratigraphy control.The combination of magnetic stratigraphy with a good biostratigraphy allows for a more precise dating of important paleoenvironmental events in the development of this part of the northwest African continental margin in Neogene and Quaternary times.Sediment accumulation rates can be inferred from the detailed magnetic stratigraphy.Below the major hiatus encountered at this site, the Early Cretaceous sediments show predominantly normal magnetic polarity.Correlation to an established polarity time scale indicates probably an uppermost early Hauterivian age.
