Secondary ferrimagnetic minerals in Welsh soils: a comparison of mineral magnetic detection methods and implications for mineral formation

A study of mineral magnetic parameters was carried out on a Late Pleistocene and Holocene sedimentary sequence (of nearly 18 m) from Lake Bledowo (central Poland). Sediments of Lake Bledowo have already been analysed for bulk sediment mineralogy and biogenic materials. The mineral magnetic stratigraphy confirms the major changes in palaeo-environmental conditions that have been deduced from other methods. The most important mineral magnetic change results from the authigenetic formation of ferrimagnetic greigite, Fe₃S₄, during the beginning of lacustrine conditions (± 12 000 yr BP). Our data also indicate a detrital origin of overlying ferrimagnetic iron oxides. It is suggested that they originate from brown soils developed on the boulder clay constituting the west side of the lake shore. Variations of ferrimagnetic iron oxide size are related to the early diagenetic processes in the sediment. Larger particles are present in periods with early diagenesis of organic matter in anoxic conditions. This indicates the dissolution of fine magnetic particles by iron-oxide-reducing bacteria and results in homogeneous magnetic grain sizes, despite their origin from soils, characterized by a multimodal grain-size distribution.

Three-dimensional Rayleigh hysteresis of oriented core samples from the German Continental Deep Drilling Program: susceptibility tensor, Rayleigh tensor, three-dimensional Rayleigh law

Rayleigh hysteresis, as defined by the well-known Rayleigh relations, has been observed not only when magnetization of pyrrhotite-bearing KTB-samples is measured in parallel to a weak dc magnetic field, but also in experiments where field and measuring directions have been adjusted strictly perpendicularly to each other. Nine-tupels of independent Rayleigh hysteresis loops could thus be compiled. Their characteristic coefficients X ^ijk of initial susceptibility together with the Rayleigh loss coefficients α^jk have been proved to determine completely the samples' weak-field magnetic anisotropy. Interpreting the coefficient matrices ( X ^ijk) and (α^jk) as the tensor of initial susceptibility and the Rayleigh tensor, respectively, generalization of the isotropic Rayleigh relations in terms of corresponding tensor relationships has been suggested for the anisotropic case. Application to the KTB samples showed 3-D Rayleigh hysteresis measurements to be an excellent tool for rock magnetic analysis in terms of ore content and crystalline texture. In particular, a magnetocrystalline double texture of the basal planes of pyrrhotite precipitates and their [1120] directions of easy magnetization have been clearly detected. Surprisingly, the welt-known theorem α= const. X ²_I, formulated by Néel (1942) for the isotropic case, has been found to hold true even in tensor generalization (α_jk) = const ( X ²_jk). To reach sufficient resolution for the measurements performed, a sensitive vibrating coil magnetometer (VCM) has been developed.     

甘肃走廊南山朱龙关群的时代及其火山岩的岩石化学特征

甘肃走廊南山朱龙关群是一套以发育大量基性火山岩为特征的浅变质火山沉积岩系，分布于托来山北坡刘口峡山至热水大坂一带以及朱龙关河北侧小柳沟和古浪峡等地。本文在前人工作的基础上，对区内地层的分布提出了新的见解，认为沙龙地区和北过龙至金龙河地区出露的一套浅变质火山－沉积岩石应划归来龙关群，并运用同位素年代学方法测定了该地层中火山岩的成岩时代，首次较确切地给出了这套浅变质岩系的时代归属，从而进一步确定了朱龙关群的时空分布。同时根据火山岩岩石化学特征研究，认为朱龙关群火山岩的成岩大地构造背景为陆内裂谷。

针对地下半空间存在三维异常体及覆盖层情况，计算了垂直磁偶极子的场，计算结果表明σ１与σ２接近时，覆盖层影响减小；σ１增加时覆盖层影响增大；对于不同的σ２／σ１值，场幅值对高频（ｆ≥２ｋＨｚ）和低频（ｆ≤１０Ｈｚ）都明显减小，只有在２ｋＨｚ≥ｆ≥１０Ｈｚ之间，场幅值可达最大。还表明垂直磁偶极子的场具有较强的岩性识别和分层能力
