Postdepositional greigite (Fe3S4; ferrimagnetic thiospinel) is of interest to sedimentary geochemists, because it reflects important reactions during diagenesis and to paleomagnetists because it can obscure a detrital paleomagnetic record. The presence, distribution, and origin of greigite are best...
