Abstract:
Dependence of magnetic susceptibility of bottom sediments from the Caspian Sea on composition of magnetoactive minerals contained in the heavy subfraction of fine-grained sand (0.125-0.100 mm grain size fraction) was established. Changes in the curve shape and magnetic susceptibility values reflect a pulsating pattern of input of different (in magnetic properties) magmatic and metamorphic clastic minerals into sediments, as well as different intensities of formation of authigenic magnetoactive iron sulfides under conditions of multiple alternation of transgressive and regressive phases in marine basins. Values of magnetic susceptibility and shapes of magnetic susceptibility curves for studied sedimentary sequences show that sediments in the South and Middle Caspian Basins are characterized by different specific features.
