摘要
The authors carried out a rock magnetism investigation and thermal demagnetization for the Late Cretaceous to Early Miocene sediments on Kuzigongsu section from the Northwestern Tarim Basin, Western China.The results indicate that thermal demagnetization and rock magnetic characteristics of rocks can be divided into three types specifically.Rocks from sublittoral zone,shallow of platform edge are dominated by the pseudo-single domain (PSD) magnetite with a little amount of goethite and maghematite.Rocks from intertidal zone and supratidal zone are dominated by pseudo-single domain and multi-domain (PSD﹢MD) magnetite generally,with a little amount of goethite,maghematite and hematite.Rocks from the fluvial and lacustrine facies are dominated by the pseudo-single domain (PSD) magnetite,the hematite,with a little amount of maghemite,the goethite,So investigation of rock magnetism on sediments from different sedimentary environments is important for the paloemagnetic research.
