A Paleomagnetic Study of the Tonggo Formation in Tanyang Area

Paleomagnetic data have been obtained from the Lower Triassic Tonggo Formation which is exposed in Tanyang area comprising the Pyeongan Supergroup in eastern Korea. Mean characteristic direction of the Tonggo Formation is declination/inclination=$121.4^{\circ}/-26.4^{\circ}$ (k=52.7, ${\alpha}_{95}=7.2^{\circ}$, N=9 Sites) and paleopole at longitude/latitude=$30.7^{\circ}E/33.3^{\circ}N$ ($dp/dm=4.2^{\circ}/7.8^{\circ}$). The mean direction passes reversal test and fold test at 99% confidence level. Therefore, it is inferred to be a pre-folding component. The paleopole position of this study is close to the Triassic pole positions of the North China Block; it is far from those of the South China Block. Therefore, a first order correlation between the Korean Peninsula and North China at least since Lower Triassic times is identified in this study.
