The conventional rules, derived from empirical and theoretical considerations, for the
interpretation of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) in terms of microstructure and …

Abstract The~ 183 Ma old Karoo Large Igneous Province extends across southern Africa
and is related to magmatism in Antarctica (west Dronning Maud Land and Transantarctic …

This book provides the background, physical instrumentation and geological aspects behind
any study of the magnetic anisotropy of a rock in a comprehensive and practical way. After …

Magnetic anisotropy in sedimentary rocks is controlled by the processes of deposition and
compaction, in volcanic rocks by the lava flow and in metamorphic and plutonic rocks by …

We compared the magnetic fabric with the macroscopic surface lineation direction
(previously assumed to be parallel with magma flow direction) for 35 dikes of the Koolau …

Understanding of AMS in pristine basic igneous rocks in terms of flow‐orientation of
ellipsoidal magnetite grains is thwarted by the fact that these grains (1) typically are …

A model of dike emplacement at divergent plate boundaries is developed which predicts that
below the uppermost 1–3 km of the oceanic crust, the number and lengths of dikes in any …

When studying weakly anisotropic rocks non-standard relationships between magnetic and
expected petrofabric axes are sometimes observed, in particular the so-called inverse or …

One of the first applications of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was an attempt to
determine flow directions from mafic dikes [Khan, 1962]. Since the seminal work of Knight …

The basic assumptions made in the interpretation of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility
(AMS) of lava flows, dykes and other tabular intrusive rocks have changed with time. This …
