Speranza, F., Kissel, C., Islami, I., Hyseni, A. and Laj, C. (1992). First paleomagnetic evidence for rotation of the Ionian Zone of Albania. Geophysical Research Letters 19: doi: 10.1029/92GL00575. issn: 0094-8276.

A paleomagnetic study of 170 samples obtained from 15 sites from Cretaceous, Eocene and Oligocene sedimentary rocks documents a ~45¿ clockwise rotation of the Albanian Ionian zone. This rotation is certainly post-Eocene and most probably post-Oligocene. These results show that the entire Ionian zone has undergone a semi rigid rotation about a pole of rotation situated farther north then previously believed. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992 ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
