| IF reconstructions of plate tectonic movement based on magnetic anomaly data are found to be inconsistent with reconstructions based on palaeomagnetic data (see refs 1-3) it may indicate that one or more of the basic assumptions of the plate tectonic model is erroneous : the age or identification of a particular anomaly may be incorrect, the pole positions or sample ages may be unreliable or there may be an error in assessing plate rigidity. We present an example of inconsistency between the two types of data and explore its implications for the chronology of magnetic reversals during the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary and for the age of the Deccan Traps.
