The ca. 355 Ma Fountain Lake Group, in the Cobequid Highlands of Nova Scotia, is part of the transtensional basin fill which formed during dextral strike-slip motion between Avalonia and the Meguma terranes following the Acadian Orogeny. Paleomagnetic analysis of the Fountain Lake Group offers a paleolatitude estimate for the Laurentian accretionary margin in the Early Carboniferous and locality-specific paleomagnetic directions which indicate clockwise-sense block rotations during dextral strike-slip motion along the Cobequid Fault zone. Stepwise demagnetization of 142 specimens from 20 sites in three Fountain Lake Group localities across the Cobequid Highlands (Squally Point, West Moose River, and Wentworth exposures) reveals remanence consisting of an easily removed component of probable recent origin, and more persistent components carried by magnetite and hematite, which in petrographic and electron beam analysis appear to be of primary igneous and volcanic oxidation origins, respectively. Sites from all three localities carry stable characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) directions that assume similar moderate downward inclinations when tilt-corrected. A Block Rotation Fisher analysis inclination-only fold test demonstrated best agreement at 90% unfolding, showing that remanence acquisition pre-dates Alleghenian deformation in the Late Carboniferous and is most likely of primary 355 Ma age. Paleomagnetic results for the Squally Point, West Moose River and Wentworth localities show relative rotations between the blocks that are variously clockwise-rotated compared with a Laurentia cratonic reference frame. Inclinations at all three localities imply a subtropics paleolatitude for the margin (at Squally Point, 27.2° ± 9.4°; N= 7 sites), directly supporting the depicted location of Laurentia and its Appalachian accretionary margin in most Devonian to Early Carboniferous reconstructions.
