What is it about?
The only prominent volcanic rocks in Central Nepal Lesser Himalaya have preserved several components of remanent magnetizations that can be separated by thermal demagnetization technique.

Why is it important?
paleomagnetic results re used to derive the magnetic declination that is indicative of rotation around the vertical, whereas the magnetic inclination is directly related to the ancient latitude of the locality studied. These data support that the Tansen area, where the Aulis volcanics occur, was situated in the mid latitudes in the southern hemisphere. The area with the rocks travelled for more than 5 thousand kilometers since the Cretaceous time.
