| Description | The metasomatic transformation of paramagnetic (Fe-rich biotite and amphibole) to ferromagnetic (pure magnetite) phases, well described on granitoid varieties of the Brno batholith, seems to be responsible for the extraordinarily geomagnetic behavior of the entire eastern part of the Brunovistulicum (Slavkov terrane) mostly covered by Paleozoic sediments. |
