Dipolar NMR relaxation of adsorbates on surfaces of controlled wettability by Siegfried Stapf, Igor Shikhov, Christoph Arns, Bulat Gizatullin, Carlos Mattea

“…Perfluorated liquids were found to follow the same trend as deuterated and naturally occurring oil components, suggesting they can be used as suitable tracers for wettability studies since the 19F nucleus is absent in natural sources. By combining electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) it becomes possible to identify and quantify the origin of the dominating relaxation processes between native and aged rocks, providing an alternative approach to assess wettability in natural rocks.…”

Characterization of marine ferromanganese crust from the Pacific using residues of selective chemical leaching: identification of fossil magnetotactic bacteria with FE-SEM and rock... by Hirokuni Oda, Yoshio Nakasato, Akira Usui

“…Abstract Hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts (hereafter referred to as “crusts”) on Pacific seamounts are formed by the precipitation of iron–manganese oxides from seawater on volcanic and biogenic substrate rocks. As crusts grow continuously and have very slow growth rates of between 1 and 10 mm/m.y., they can potentially be used as records of the Neogene paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic conditions. …”

Ferrimagnetic minerals as possible indicators of the sedimentation environments of the Eastern Paratethys Tarkhanian deposits (Kop-Takyl section) by Пилипенко О.В., Ростовцева Ю.В., Сальная Н.В.

“…Magnetic minerals were identified by petromagnetism and scanning electron microscopy. The main ferrimagnetic mineral in the rocks of the upper part of the Argunian strata of Tarkhanian deposits and the Tarkhanian-Chokrakian deposits, which correspond to the regressive stage of the paleobasin under consideration, is magnetite (maghemite). …”

Paleoenvironmental signature of the Deccan Phase-2 eruptions by Eric eFont, Alexandra eAbrajevitch

“…In both sections, a change in colour of sediments located just below the KTB is systematically associated with very low values of (low-field) magnetic susceptibility (MS). Rock magnetic characteristics suggest that the decrease in MS values results from the loss (dissolution) of ferrimagnetic mineral in this intervals. …”
