| Description | This work is a pilot study aimed at understanding the regional tectonic and magnetic development of the Prague synform. Field data and specimens were successfully processed for AMS. The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility versus the temperature variations were measured by use of a furnace for high temperatures and a cryostat for low temperatures. The principal directions of magnetic susceptibilities were measured by using a kappabridge. The magnetic principle directions were analyzed and their relationship between the bedding, discontinuities, dislocations and direction of drilling were determined. Some plots derived from low magnetic rocks displayed the resultant direction was dependent on the drilling direction due to a contamination from the diamond-drill which left a thin layer of steel on the specimen surface. |
