Abstract
The Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic Pyongan Supergroup is exposed in an E-W trending syncline comprising the Samcheok Coalfield in eastern South Korea. Although a Recent field overprint widely recorded in Korean rocks is represented here, an ancient field component structure is recovered from red bed facies. A prominent Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous overprint is widespread and records the magnetic effect of the Daebo Orogeny within the Okcheon Belt. Components predating this deformation are recovered from the Lower Triassic, Permian and Upper Carboniferous sediments. A first-order correlation is identified between the Korean Peninsula and North China at least since Upper Paleozoic times. Establishment of, and movements along, the Tan Lu Fault System since Mesozoic times have not obscured this palaeomagnetic correlation. -from Authors
