Abstract
This paper presents the results of interpreting the change in the magnetic signal of ferruginous marine sedimentary rocks using the example of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Bakchar deposit (Western Siberia). Anomalous magnetic susceptibility (MS) values are determined by two factors: (a) a diagenetic process accompanied by the formation of pyrrhotite, greigite and siderite in ironstones, (b) an increase detrital input with deposition of magnetite and ilmenite in the siltstones on the background of climate moistening and intense weathering. It is shown that increased MS values in iron-bearing marine sedimentary deposits can be associated with the formation of ferrimagnetic sulfides, which indicates to the methane emission through ancient marine bottom sediments.
