Abstract
THE effect of deformation on thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) has significant bearing on palaeomagnetic investigations. One type of deformation is the preferential rotation, without strain, of ferromagnetic mineral grains which occurs during the fluid or plastic flow of rocks or during the deposition of sediments. This may change the direction of the remanence and may produce an anisotropy of susceptibility and remanence if the grains are not spherical1–4.
