(US paleolatitude)
noun ˌpeɪlɪəʊˈlatɪtjuːdˌpalɪəʊˈlatɪtjuːdˌpālēōˈladət(y)o͞od

    • Palaeomagnetic data indicate that the palaeolatitude of the Atacama has been close to that of the present day since the late Jurassic.
    • Of the lower plants, lycopods and horse-tails are rare whilst liverworts are abundant, particularly when compared to Cretaceous floras from lower palaeolatitudes.
    • However, and very importantly, the distance from a palaeomagnetic pole and the sampled area of the continent, as reflected by palaeomagnetic inclination, provides a direct estimate of the palaeolatitude of the continent.
    • Thus the sedimentological data indicating palaeolatitudes confirm the palaeomagnetic conclusions, in particular in the positioning of the South Pole under the Antarctic part of Gondwana.
