Twenty-eight selected sites (individual beds) in the Moenave Formation at the Echo Cliffs, northern Arizona, strata give a Hettangian paleomagnetic pole at 63.7¿N, 59.7¿E (dp = 2.6¿, dm = 5.1¿). The Wingate Sandstone and Rock Point Formation at Comb Ridge, southeast Utah, provide a Rhaetian paleopole at 57.4¿N, 56.6¿E (N = 16 sites; dp = 3.4, dm = 6.5). High unblocking temperatures (>600¿C), high coercivity, and data analyses indicate that the characteristic magnetization is primarily a chemical remanence residing in hematite. The Hettangian and Rhaetian poles are statistically indistinguishable (at 95% confidence), they resemble existing data for the Glen Canyon Group, and they provide further validation to the J1 cusp of the North American apparent pole wander path (APWP). The red siltstone and upper members of the Chinle Group, on the south flank of the Uinta Mountains, northern Utah, define a Rhaetian pole at 51.6¿N, 70.9¿E (N = 20 sites; dp = 3.5¿, dm = 6.9¿). The Gartra and upper members of the Chinle Group in the north flank of the Uinta Mountains, give paleopoles at 52.0¿N, 100.3¿E (N = 6 sites; dp = 5.4¿, dm = 10.5¿) and 50.9¿N, 50.1¿E (N = 5 sites; dp = 8.8¿, dm = 17.5¿), respectively. These data indicate no significant rotation of the Uinta Mountains with respect to the craton. In total, data for the plateau and its bordering region of Cenozoic uplifts support estimates of small rotation of the plateau and provide evidence against the hypothesis of a Late Triassic standstill of the North American APWP. Our magnetostratigraphic results are consistent with lithographic and biostratigraphic data that place the Triassic-Jurassic boundary within the Dinosaur Canyon Member of the Moenave Formation, not at a regional hiatus.
