The peridotite plugs of Rum: Crystal settling and fabric development in magma conduits
2012, LithosCitation Excerpt :No aureole rocks are exposed around the Mam Tuath plug, while the local exposures of the West Sgaorishal aureole are incomplete, preventing acquisition of detailed observations such as those presented by Holness (1999) for the Kinloch Glen peridotite plug. The edge of the contact aureole within the Torridonian arkose is defined by the bleaching of the originally pink arkose (Holness, 1999), due to the reduction of hematite to magnetite (Robinson and McClelland, 1987). 12 m from the contact at West Sgaorishal (GR NM 34448 02178) detrital muscovite grains are partially replaced by turbid aggregates while muscovite is still present 19 m away.
Self-reversed magnetization held by martite in basalt flows from the 1.1-billion-year-old Keweenawan rift, Canada
2011, Earth and Planetary Science LettersCitation Excerpt :In order for the component to be recognized, it needs to be comparable in magnitude to remanence held by primary magnetite and/or parallel hematite, and thermal demagnetization must proceed at high resolution (< 20 °C). Antiparallel directions held by hematite have been observed in many studies of hematite-rich oxidized sediments (“red beds”; e.g. Robinson and McClelland, 1987; Rösler et al., 1997; Roy and Park, 1972; Schmidt and Williams, 1995; Turner, 1981; Turner et al., 1984). The explanation given for these antiparallel remanences is that the samples contain hematite that formed significantly after deposition following a geomagnetic reversal.
Palaeomagnetic study of the (late Mesoproterozoic) Torridon Group, NW Scotland: Age, magnetostratigraphy, tectonic setting and partial magnetic overprinting by Caledonian orogeny
2005, Precambrian ResearchCitation Excerpt :The B remanence is the magnetisation in the Torridon Group held predominantly by magnetite (Table 2) and clearly defined in the lower blocking temperature segments of many vector plots. It is apparent in the results of Robinson and McCLelland (1987) although an inclination contrast with A− went unrecognised. The petrologic significance of magnetite in the Torridon Group remains unclear.
