We present a comprehensive study of one of the key targets of the Sikhote-Alin orogen—Early Cretaceous rocks in the Kiselevka block of the Kiselevka-Manoma tectono-stratigraphic terrane. The characteristic component of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) for these rocks was isolated, and the fold test was positive (Dec = 275.8°, Inc = −33.8°, K = 33.3. α 95 = 8.0°). The paleolatitude along which rocks of the block were forming in the Early Cretaceous was defined by the direction of this component (paleolatitude 18°N ± 5°N) as well as coordinates of the paleomagnetic pole (Plat = 18.6°, Plong = 222.4°, with semi-axis...
