Despite their importance for biostratigraphy, bituminous, organic-rich limestone has rarely
yielded reliable paleomagnetic results, principally due to the weak magnetization levels …

Biogenic magnetic minerals produced by magnetotactic bacteria occur ubiquitously in
natural aquatic environments. Their identification and characterization are important for …

We report a novel authigenic nanoscale magnetite source in marine methane seep
sediments. The magnetite occurs in large concentrations in multiple horizons in a 230 m …

As samples of ever decreasing sizes are being studied paleomagnetically, care has to be
taken that the underlying assumptions of statistical thermodynamics (Maxwell‐Boltzmann …

We present a new, automated system based on a three‐axis superconducting
magnetometer and a custom‐made coil designed to experiment on cylindrical specimens …

The palaeomagnetic and mineral magnetic properties of rocks, soils, sediments, dusts and
organic materials often arise from the presence of very small amounts of ferrimagnetic …

Archaeomagnetic and mineral magnetic studies were made of known‐age samples from
fired structures and sediments from archaeological sites near Xi'an, China. The fired …

Sampling strategies used in paleomagnetic studies play a crucial role in dictating the
accuracy of our estimates of properties of the ancient geomagnetic field. However, there has …

The ubiquitous presence of iron minerals within the soils and sediments forming
archaeological sites can often provide a valuable record of past human activity. These …

Magnetic parameters are used extensively to interpret magnetic mineral assemblage
variations in environmental studies. Conventional room temperature measurements of bulk …
