Palaeomagnetism and the Siljan impact structure, central Sweden

• A palaeomagnetic study of rocks, from inside and outside the impact structure has been carried out, with the aim of identifying natural remanent magnetizations (NRMs) related to the impact event. Three different directions of magnetizations, not recognized elsewhere, were identified within the central part of the structure. These three magnetizations are defined in terms of coercivity and blocking temperature. The implications of the results are discussed in relation to ages obtained from Ar-Ar dating of impact melt
