Anhysteretic remanent magnetization (DC field = 1 Oe, peak AC field = 1000 Oe) was given to an artificial sediment consisting of a kaolinite matrix and a 0.03% magnetic fraction of needle-shaped magnetite grains. The mean grain size of the clay flakes and the magnetite needles was approximately 0.5 μm. This sediment was subjected to plane strain while maintaining constant volume. The axis of maximum compression was shortened by as much as 331/3%, which produced no significant change in the direction of magnetization with a decrease in intensity of 28%. A continuous deformation model, in which the magnetite needles are embedded in a plastically deforming linearly homogeneous medium, failed to explain these results. A discontinuous deformation model was more successful. In this model, deformation occurs mainly in shear zones bounding blocks which translate along the shears. Only those magnetite grains in the shear zones rotate, and from symmetry considerations no net change in the direction of magnetization is predicted. Because magnetite grains rotate in opposite directions in complementary sets of shears, the model predicts a decrease in intensity comparable to that which was observed.
