Magnetic Mineralogy 3: S-ratios

Owens (dry) Lake samples (T 62) have S-ratios close to 1.0, indicating again the presence of only "magnetically soft" magnetite. At increasing distance from Owens (dry) Lake S-ratios decrease, which is in agreement with an additional hard component, already seen in IRM acquisition curves.
The figure to the right shows S-ratios for dust samples from 1993 (high dust year) and 1997 (low dust year).
