Key: N: number of localities/sites; D, I: declination, inclination; k, α₉₅° and K, A95° statistical parameters (Fisher 1953) of the paleomagnetic directions and virtual geomagnetic poles, respectively; Rev.Class: classification of reversal test (McFadden and McElhinney 1990); VGP: Virtual Geomagnetic Pole; Lat. N, Long. E: latitude and longitude of the Virtual Geomagnetic Pole, respectively. The tilt-test (Enkin 2003) is negative for the Cretaceous sediments
