A palaeomagnetic study of the lower part of the Palaeoproterozoic Waterberg Group, South Africa

The calculated mean pole position for the lower-Waterberg Group is tentatively interpreted to represent a direction of magnetic overprinting due to the ∼1.88 Ga Palaeoproterozoic intraplate magmatism associated with the Eburnean Event, which means that the cumulative of palaeomagnetic data can no longer connect the onset of Waterberg sedimentation with the emplacement of the Bushveld Complex.
