The Solea graben, on the northern flank of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, is a 15–20-km-wide asymmetric structure primarily defined by dike attitudes in the sheeted dike complex. The wider western portion of the graben consists mainly of gently dipping dikes while the eastern portion is narrow and consists of blocks of dikes with widely varying attitudes. Using a method which restores the sampled dikes to vertical and the primary remanent magnetizations to a previously known stable remanent magnetization direction for the Troodos complex, we have calculated rotation axes and amounts of rotation for the dikes. The rotation axes for dikes in the western portion of the Solea graben are subhorizontal and subparallel to the original strikes of the dikes. In the eastern portion the rotation axes have varying attitudes, including some which are very steep. Our results are consistent with field observations that suggest that the western Solea graben formed by listric normal faulting near the axis of a spreading center, with rotation of the dikes above a detachment surface. Across the graben axis on the eastern portion, more intense intrusive activity and minor normal faulting resulted in less rotation about subhorizontal axes and some rotations about vertical axes.
