Magnetic susceptibility logs of four MeBo200 cores from RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM111

All sediment series recovered during the MERIAN cruise MSM 111 by the MeBo 200 coring system were subject to routine magnetic susceptibility logging on the closed, full-length core segments. The magnetic volume susceptibility (κ) of marine sediments is primarily determined by their ferrimagnetic mineral content; paramagnetic matrix components, such as clays, are of minor relevance. κ is a dimensionless quantity that may vary from an absolute minimum value of -15×10^(−6) for diamagnetic minerals (such as water, pure carbonate or silicate) to a maximum value of approximately 10×10^(−3) for sediments rich in ferrimagnetic titanomagnetite (here mainly magmatic-sourced, ice-rafted or current-transported materials).
