Preliminary interpretation of the magnetic anomalies in the area of the seismic reflection profile DEKORP 2-N

The magnetic anomalies in the surroundings of the DEKORP 2-N profile — within a rectangle of 230 km N-S and 170 km E-W — are interpreted by a two-layer model where the shape of an interface between an upper nonmagnetic and a lower magnetized layer can be determined. The depth and the amplitudes of the vertical undulations of the interface may vary within certain intervals. Along the DEKORP profile in its Rhenohercynian portion this interface is adjusted to the seismic results by fitting the interface to a weakly reflecting band observed in the seismic section. Thereby the depth of the corresponding zone within the Earth's crust can be extrapolated from the profile line into the surrounding area.
