| Abstract: | The data on the distribution of native iron particles in sediments yielded by thermomagnetic analysis are explored. It is shown that the accumulation of iron particles in sediments is statistically inversely linked with the rate of sedimentation and the frequency of geomagnetic reversals and statistically directly linked to the intensity of the geomagnetic field. These dependences highlight the predominance of cosmic iron particles in the studied sediments. |
