Palaeomagnetic data. Hiage and Lowage indicate the age range of the studied rocks. Tests refer to palaeomagnetic field tests indicating the primary remanence [173] for assessing the reliability of palaeomagnetic data. Plat, Plong and A95 refer to the measured latitude and longitude of palaeomagnetic poles and their 95% confidence circle.
