Magnetic and plagioclase linear fabric discrepancy in dykes: a new way to define the flow vector using magnetic foliation
International audience In basaltic dykes the magnetic lineation K1 (maximum magnetic susceptibility axis) is generally taken to indicate the flow direction during solidification of the magma. This assumption was tested in Tertiary basaltic dykes from Greenland displaying independent evidence of subh...
