Description

Oriented rock cubes are measured for directional magnetic susceptibility to determine fabric orientation and strength. Principal axes and confidence ellipses calculated using Jelinek statistics.

Typical Equipment

  • rock hammer
  • GPS units
  • magnetic compass
  • AGICO KLY-4S Kappabridge susceptibility meter

Output Measurements

  • magnetic susceptibility axes
  • degree of anisotropy
  • shape factor
