Abstract

The paper presents new paleomagnetic data on dated Ordovician-Silurian volcanics from four sections in the western frame of the Taratash massif in the Southern Urals. Geological data indicate that the region under study has been part of the paleocontinent Baltica since the beginning of Mesoproterozoic. Paleomagnetic data from studies of the rocks of the most western part of the Ural fold belt did not reveal local and regional rotations with respect to the Baltica. Consequently, the pole obtained can be extrapolated to the entire platform. The presented result has a fairly high degree of reliability and can clarify the part of apparent polar wander path (APWP) for the paleocontinent Baltica on the Late Ordovician - Early Silurian segment, where reliable paleomagnetic data are not available, and can be used for paleoreconstructions.
