Hence, the normal progressive consolidation and burial of clay-rich sediments results in a downsection decrease in porosity. Milliken and Reed (2010) studied a number of samples of semi-consolidated mud from Nankai (IODP Expedition 316) to determine preferred alignment of platy particles. 196, 181200. The samples from below the dcollement, covering a depth range of 950-1050 mbsf, once oriented (using paleomagnetic directions), reveal a typical depositional fabric, including vertical Kmin axes and scattered Kmax axes within the depositional plane (Figure 8).

Graham. Overpressured sediments form under many circumstances, such as under high sediment accumulation rates, mineral dehydration, gas liberation, and low permeability. Conceptual model of AMS development in mudrocks undergoing progressive deformation. What Graham referred to as an unexploited petrofabric element in 1954, is nowadays an indispensable tool in a wide range of disciplines in Earth Sciences.

The total susceptibility in a given rock will depend on both the intrinsic susceptibility and the concentration of the individual minerals.
By using a larger number of fields, instead of two as described by Lowrie (1989), a more accurate definition of the paramagnetic susceptibility tensor can be obtained.

M., and Lago, M. (2000). Paramagnetic materials have constant, small positive susceptibilities, less than 1/1,000 at room temperature, which means that the enhancement of the magnetic field caused by the alignment of magnetic dipoles is relatively small compared with the applied field.
A curious application of diamagnetism is that diamagnetic materials can be stably, and passively, levitated in suitably inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The underlying reason is the magnetic zone axis (Henry, 1997), which is expressed as a magnetic lineation and thus ellipsoids are typically prolate. Although the aim of Ising's studies was the record of secular variation in varved sediments, he noticed that the two principal axes (of susceptibility) lying in the horizontal plane posses considerably higher susceptibility values (1020%), over the vertical susceptibility. From the performed susceptibility measurements obtained, he concluded that the axis of maximum susceptibility is decisive for the problem of determining the secular variation of the declination from clay measurements.. The most common detrital mineral in sandstone is quartz, on average 65% although some sandstones are made of practically 100% quartz. Housen, B. Scriba, H., and Heller, F. (1978).

With the advent of ocean deep drilling since the mid 1960's (DSSP, ODP, and IODP), thousands of meters of sediment from many accretionary prisms were made available for studying several geologic and geophysic properties, including AMS, after several decades of drilling in Barbados, Costa Rica, and Nankai accretionary prisms. doi: 10.2973/odp.proc.sr.131.110.1993, Martn-Fernndez, F., and Ferr, E.

The torque magnetometer is possibly the most popular instrument to measure high field magnetic susceptibility (Banerjee and Stacey, 1967; Owens and Bamford, 1976; Ellwood, 1978; Parma, 1988; Borradaile and Werner, 1994). In this earliest study in the Ashizuri transect, the AMS data already show a pattern that later on is observed not only in acretionary prisms but also in their onshore analogs, foreland basins ahead of fold-and-thrust belts. The torque T is given by T = dE/d, where E is the energy of magnetization of the sample and is the direction of the applied field. In an AMS study of the Sevier fold and thrust belt, Weil and Yonkee (2009) reported kinked mica grains in Triassic redbeds, which would explain the magnetic fabric in the redbeds. The study was an important step forward showing the AMS as a sensitive and rapid gage for bulk crystallographic preferred orientation in rocks, with the advantage of using large sample volumes (typically about 1 l cm3), as opposed to the essentially two-dimensional slice used in optical and X-ray methods (Figure 2).

Although in Graham's view, the magnetic fabric obeys dimensional orientations of the ferromagnetic grains we now know that the paramagnetic contribution is usually more significant that the former in these rocks (see Tarling and Hrouda, 1993 and references therein).

Shortly after Graham's work, it was well-established that sedimentary rocks acquire a magnetic fabric during deposition (Granar, 1958; Rees, 1961, 1965; Hamilton and Rees, 1971; Kent and Lowrie, 1975) and also that cleaved rocks, slates, have a magnetic fabric that is consistent with the macroscopic foliation (Fuller, 1960, 1963).

A common feature in most of these studies is the realization that AMS records preferred grain orientation in sedimentary rocks with no macroscopic strain indicators, even before the appearance of embryonic cleavage (Ramsay and Huber, 1983). Anisotropy in such rocks is characterized by ellipsoids with Kmax axes that follow the cleavage-bedding intersection, essentially Type IIa or IIb magnetic ellipsoids (Pars et al., 1999), and so not parallel to the X-direction (maximum extension) of the strain ellipsoid (Pars and van der Pluijm, 2002).
