On the basis of systematic paleomagnetic study for Tarim basin in Mesozoic, theauthors employ the separating techniques such as PCA, LSA and LINEFIND to isolatethe multi-components of Mesozoic rocks. Magnetic minerals in rock were revealedthrough measurements of isothermal remanent magnetization and magneticsusceptibility related to demagnetizing temperature. Field tests including fold test, reversaltest and so on were carried to determine stabilities and origins of isolatedcomponents. For Triassic and Jurassic specimens the dominant magnetic carrier wasmagnetite and natural remanence was composed of three components isolated fromstepwise demagnetized vectors. The unblocking temperature for the two overprint components which related to biochemical effect and oxidation is about 175-200℃ and300-375℃; the unblocking temperature for the primary remanence is 550℃ and theremanence passed the fold test and reversal test. For Cretaceous specimens the dominantmagnetic carrier was haemite and natural remanence was composed of three componentstoo. The overprint components were viscosity remanence and structural remanence, andthe primary remanence passed reversal test. In the early Mesozoic, APW path for Tarimbasin drifted unobviously, which represented a period of tectonic quiet. FromJurassic to Cretaceous Tarim basin had undergone 10° southward displacement accompanied by a little clockwise rotation. Comparing the latitude between Cretaceousand present, there was a difference about 17-20°, this difference of latitude had beenminimized by the compression in collision orogenic zone located to the north ofTarim basin and by the shearing of strike-slip fault in the boundary of Tarim basin.
