Abstract: Paleomagnetic data from Ruche Formation(Pliocene)in Kuche Depression indicate that mean dlp angles possess the smallest values in mudstone and progressively increase from muddy siltstone to sandstone and siltstone.The corresponding paleolatitudes bet higher in the same sequences.In order to research this phenomenon we conduct an experiment with 48 specimens and find that decrease in magnetic dip ankle is linearly related to volume variation resulting from compaction.
