A review of available paleomagnetic data from stable South                 America reveals a serious deficiency of data for the Late                       Cretaceous and a complete lack od data for the Early Tertiary.                  The Patagonian basalt plateau contains flat-lying basalt and                    basaltic andesites ranging in age from Late Cretaceous through                  Early Tertiary.  The region is far inboard of the Andean Range                  and has been essentially unaffected by tectonic activity from the               Late Mesozoic to present.  Preliminary paleomagnetic data from                  one Late Cretaceous and one Early Tertiary sequence demonstrate                 that these volcanic sequences possess a very stable                             characteristic component of natural remanent magnetization which                is almost certainly a thermoremanence acquired during original                  cooling.  A one year project of through collection and analysis                 of paleomagnetic samples from the Patagonian basalt plateau will                be carried out.  The resulting data will: (1) fill a severe gap                 in knowledge of the apparent polar wander path for South America;               (2) provide much more reliable reference poles for present and                  future paleomagnetic studies of the Andean orogen; and (3)                      provide much needed input data for global syntheses of plate                    motions with respect to the geomagnetic field reference frame.
