Magnetosomal Greigite as the source of intermediate and inverse magnetic fabrics at IODP site M0061 (Baltic Sea)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Interpretation of palaeomagnetic data requires the detection of magnetofossils in sedimentary rocks and an understanding of their influence on magnetic properties. Subsamples collected from IODP site M0061 lost up to 90 per cent of their initial bulk magnetic susceptibility (MS) during cold-room storage of 5 months, which was attributed to the alteration of single-domain magnetosomal greigite (Fe3S4). To test if the magnetic susceptibility loss affected the anisotropy of MS (AMS) we resampled site M0061 with a Kullenberg piston corer (3 cores), took palaeomagnetic subsamples and undertook time-dependent AMS measurements over 1 yr in a controlled cool, humidified environment and exposed to air. Most subsamples possessed an initial normal oblate AMS fabric predicted for laminated sediments (horizontal with respect to the bedding plane) but we also detected a negative trend between the degree of anisotropy (Pj) and MS. In accordance with previous observations, MS decreased over 1 yr, which we accredit to oxidation of magnetosomal greigite and conversion into a less magnetic phase (probably FeO(OH)) that does not make a detectable contribution to AMS. These results allowed us to isolate, through application of an AMS tensor subtraction routine, the fabric of the magnetosomal greigite component that had decayed. In subsamples with the largest MS loss over one year, the decay ed component had a prolate, inverse AMS fabric (defined as the principal susceptibility axis perpendicular to the bedding place) but relatively low Pj. We conclude that the initial (in-situ) AMS ellipsoid consisted of a mixture of a typical normal, oblate sedimentary fabric and the prolate, inverse magnetosomal fabric. The mostly inverse nature of the separated fabric indicates that the long axis of the magnetosomal greigite (as individual single-domain magnetofossils or chains) must be oriented parallel to the bedding plane, which implies that the magnetosomal greigite was deposited from the water column and contributes to a depositional remanent magnetization (DRM). Our results indicate that greigite magnetofossils can (i) explain the inverse AMS fabrics that have been reported in similar sedimentary environments and (ii) carry DRM with a median destructive field (MDF) of approximately 20 mT, although this remanence is transient under ambient laboratory conditions and is prone to oxidation.
