Abstract
As a student in the 1960s I recall the admiration we felt for our mentors who had not only mastered use of the universal stage, but were prepared to spend long hours resolving mineral orientations grain by grain. The end results were very satisfying but must have left them yearning for a more rapid method for resolving rock fabrics. Nowadays of course, we have such a method in the determination of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and anisotropy of magnetic remanence (AMR). AMS remains the dominant application because measurements are fast, non-destructive and very precise. This Geological Society Special Publication brings together 26 research papers originally presented at European and American Geophysical Union meetings in 2003. By appearing exactly half a century since John Graham published a seminal paper proposing that AMS in rocks could provide a sensitive and readily-determined tool for resolving petrofabrics, it represents a Jubilee landmark. During these 50 …
