The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was studied in the Upper Jurassic radiolarian limestones of the Western Tatra Mts. in Poland. Analysis was carried out on the material from 34 hand samples at 5 localities within the Krizna Unit. Well defined compactional magnetic fabric with slight tectonic disturbance was found. These results confirmed the results of structural studies which revealed the brittle character of deformations in the studied area. Very weak magnetic lineation directed SSW-NNE was encountered. It is subparallel to dominant fold axes and cleavage direction in the area. The magnetic fabric of the Krizna sediments in the Western Tatra Mts. differs from that in the Belianske Tatry where a strong tectonic overprint was previously described.
