A late diagenetic (syn-folding) magnetization carried by pyrrhotite: implications for paleomagnetic studies from magnetic iron sulphide-bearing sediments
Paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and sedimentary micro-textural data from an early Miocene mudstone sequence exposed in Okhta River, Sakhalin, Russia, indicate the presence of pyrrhotite and magnetite at different stratigraphic levels. Sites that contain only magnetite have a reversed polarity characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) with a low-coercivity overprint, which coincides with the pr...
متن کاملMagnetite dissolution, diachronous greigite formation, and secondary magnetizations from pyrite oxidation: Unravelling complex magnetizations in Neogene marine sediments from New Zealand
Detailed rock magnetic and electron microscope analyses indicate that the magnetic signature of Neogene marine sediments from the east coast of New Zealand is dominated by the authigenic iron sulphide greigite. The greigite is present as a mixed population of stable single domain and superparamagnetic grains, which is consistent with authigenic growth from solution. This growth can result from ...
متن کاملContradictory magnetic polarities in sediments and variable timing of neoformation of authigenic greigite
In several recent published studies, paleomagnetic results from greigite-bearing sediments reveal characteristic remanences that are anti-parallel to those carried by coexisting detrital magnetic minerals and polarities that are opposite to those expected for the age of the rock unit. These observations have important implications for the reliability of paleomagnetic data from greigite-bearing ...
متن کاملDiagenetic formation of ferrimagnetic iron sulphide minerals in rapidly deposited marine sediments, South Island, New Zealand
Detailed magnetostratigraphic studies of Late Neogene siliciclastic sediments of the Awatere Group, South Island, New Zealand (41°45'S, 174°05'E) have revealed a wide range of palaeomagnetic behaviour. Examination of rock magnetic properties was undertaken using conventional palaeomagnetic techniques and thermomagnetic, X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analyses. These analyses indicate...
متن کاملWidespread remagnetizations and a new view of Neogene tectonic rotations within the Australia-Pacific plate boundary zone, New Zealand
[1] Large, clockwise, vertical axis tectonic rotations of the Hikurangi margin, East Coast, New Zealand, have been inferred over both geological and contemporary timescales, from paleomagnetic and geodetic data, respectively. Previous interpretations of paleomagnetic data have laterally divided the margin into independently rotating domains; this is not a feature of the short-term velocity fiel...
