Book Description
Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy merges environmental magnetism, in which rock magnetic measurements are used to detect past environmental change, and cyclostratigraphy, in which cyclic variations of lithology or a sedimentary rock’s physical properties are related to astronomically-forced paleoclimate change. In addition to providing paleoclimate data, cyclostratigraphy can establish high-resolution chronostratigraphy for a sequence of sedimentary rocks, even at distant times in Earth’s history. This book provides an overview of concepts underlying these two techniques, recipes for the time series analysis of cyclostratigraphy, and case studies to illustrate the variety and breadth of problems addressed by rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy. New Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental Science Because of the plethora of analytical techniques now available, and the acceleration of technological advance, many earth scientists find it difficult to know where to turn for reliable information on the latest tools at their disposal, and may lack the expertise to assess the relative strengths or limitations of a particular technique. This new series will address these difficulties by providing accessible introductions to important new techniques, lab and field protocols, suggestions for data handling and interpretation, and useful case studies. The series represents an invaluable and trusted source of information for researchers, advanced students and applied earth scientists wishing to familiarise themselves with emerging techniques in their field. All titles in this series are available in a variety of full-colour, searchable e-book formats.

Book Description
The Shuram-Wonoka excursion, the largest documented negative carbon isotope anomaly, occurs globally in the Ediacaran. Precise determination of the duration of the Shuram-Wonoka excursion is pivotal in understanding its controversial origin. Here, we present a detailed paleo- and rock magnetic, cyclostratigraphic and carbon isotope study of a complete record of the Shuram-Wonoka excursion in the Doushantuo Formation at the Dongdahe section in eastern Yunnan Province, South China. Although paleomagnetic results indicate a Cretaceous thermoviscous remanent magnetization related to the Yanshanian orogeny in South China, careful mineralogical examination shows that variations in the concentration of detrital magnetite can faithfully record astronomically-forced climate oscillations in the Ediacaran. Multi-taper method spectral analysis of magnetic susceptibility and anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) cyclostratigraphies yields significant peaks at consistent frequencies. Based on the ratios of their wavelengths, these peaks are assigned to a suite of Milankovitch cycles (long eccentricity, short eccentricity, obliquity and precession), permitting the sediment accumulation rate of the Doushantuo Formation to be calculated as 1.03 cm/kyr. By extrapolation, a 9.4 +/- 1.0 Myr duration is suggested for the entire Shuram-Wonoka excursion in South China. This result is in good agreement with independent estimates from exposures in North America and South Australia, thus supporting a primary origin for the Shuram-Wonoka excursion. In combination with published geochronological data, we suggest that the age of the excursion's onset is possibly ca. 560 Ma, thus providing a robust chronostratigraphic framework for evaluating the relationship between the excursion and the life evolution in the Ediacaran.

Book Description
Lithostratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic, and rock magnetic cyclostratigraphic data were combined to create a high-resolution chronology of 636 m of Messinian- middle Pleistocene siliciclastic marine deposits exposed in the Stirone River, northern Italy. These deposits are part of a growth section on the forelimb of the Salsomaggiore anticline. Magnetostratigraphic analysis of 146 oriented samples at 41 stratigraphic horizons supplements published studies to create a composite magnetostratigraphy correlated to the geomagnetic polarity timescale. Magnetic susceptibility (chi) was measured for unoriented samples, collected every meter, and subjected to Multi-Taper Method (MTM) spectral analysis. The resultant power spectra revealed significant peaks associated with 405 kyr eccentricity, 41 kyr obliquity, and 23 kyr precession Milankovitch cycles. Magnetic susceptibility (chi) data tuned to the 41 kyr obliquity cycle, and anchored at a well-known biostratigraphic horizon assigns cyclostratigraphic absolute time in the Stirone section between 3.00-1.78 Ma, where stratigraphic positions of the magnetic chron boundaries are poorly defined. This cyclostratigraphy reveals two important features of the Stirone section. First, the age of an important biostratigraphically-determined unconformity at the base of the C2An. 1n chron is 200 kyr older than previously determined. Second, forelimb rotation rates for the Salsomaggiore anticline are shown to be unsteady at 41 kyr time scales and not correlated to deposition. The chronostratigraphic time resolution in the Stirone growth strata are new paleogeodetic data that help bridge short-term geodetic and long-term geologic rates of crustal deformation.

Book Description
Paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and carbon isotope stratigraphies of the Ediacaran aged Johnnie Formation (Death Valley, USA) and the Wonoka Formation (Flinders Ranges, Australia) provide a robust chronostratigraphic framework for the Shuram carbon isotope excursion (SE). Competing hypotheses suggest the SE is either a major global ocean oxidation event preceding the evolution of metazoan life, or the product of diagenetic alteration of globally distributed sediments. Magnetostratigraphy shows the nadir of the excursion to be synchronous between the Death Valley and Australia locations, and an astrochronology gives a duration of approximately 9 Myr for each expression of the excursion. The geochronologic consistency of the excursion between these two localities makes a diagenetic source unlikely. The duration of the 13C depleted strata can be used to obtain a more robust estimate of the necessary dissolved organic carbon pool and amount of oxidants in the Ediacaran ocean-atmosphere system necessary to explain the Shuram Excursion.

Book Description
This book describes the paleomagnetism of sediments and sedimentary rocks, how sediments and sedimentary rocks become magnetized, and how the physical and chemical processes involved can affect the accuracy of paleomagnetism. Topics covered include depositional and post-depositional remanence acquisition, the detection and correction of compaction-caused inclination shallowing, reduction diagenesis of magnetic minerals, chemical remagnetization, and rotation of remanence by grain-scale rock strain. The book also has a chapter on environmental paleomagnetism, including examples of the new technique of high-resolution rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy and its application to sedimentary sequences. By emphasising the accuracy of sedimentary paleomagnetism and the magnitude of post-depositional processes that can affect it, the book will be invaluable in the geologic interpretation of sedimentary paleomagnetic data. Paleomagnetism of Sedimentary Rocks will be welcomed by paleomagnetists, students of paleomagnetism and all Earth scientists who use sedimentary paleomagnetic data in their research. Additional resources for this book can be found at: www.wiley.com/go/kodama/paleomagnetism.

Book Description
Magnetostratigraphy is best known as a technique that employs correlation among different stratigraphic sections using the magnetic directions defining geomagnetic polarity reversals as marker horizons. The ages of the polarity reversals provide common tie points among the sections, allowing accurate time correlation. Recently, studies of magnetic methods and the timing of geological processes have acquired a broader meaning, now referring to many types of magnetic measurements within a stratigraphic sequence. Many of these measurements provide correlation and age control not only for the older and younger boundaries of a polarity interval, but also within intervals. Thus, magnetostratigraphy no longer represents a dating tool based only on geomagnetic polarity reversals, but comprises a set of techniques that includes measurements of geomagnetic field parameters, environmental magnetism, rock-magnetic properties, radiometric dating and astronomically forced palaeoclimatic change recorded in sedimentary rocks, and key corrections to magnetic directions related to geodynamics, palaeocurrents, tectonics and diagenetic processes --
