On Mars, Fe-oxides mineral phases (inferred/detected) are mainly magnetite, pyrrhotite, and hematite. Kletetschka et al., 2005 suggested that the grain size dependent potential may contribute to the Mars surface magnetic anomaly. Grain size of Fe-oxides may play a role for the magnetic signature and anomaly on Mars. According to Kletetschka et al., 2005, the larger the grain size, the larger the magnetization (in this case hematite's TRM). Weather they are magnetite, pyrrhotite or hematite, nano-phase or superparamagnetic grains may contribute to the absence of remanent magnetization on the surface of Mars. In this contribution we tackle how to resolve grain size variations by frequency dependent susceptibility measured on terrestrial hematite samples such as hemo-ilmenite from Allard Lake, Canada, Mars analogue concretions from Utah and Czech Republic, and hematite aggregates from Hawaii. The magnetic characteristics of hematite-goethite mineralogies of Utah and Czech concretions suggested (Adachi et al., 2007) that they contain super paramagnetic (SP) to single domain (SD) magnetic states. Coercivity spectra analysis from acquisition of isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) data showed the distinct behaviors of hematite, goethite, and mixed composition of both. The estimated magnetic states are analyzed with the frequency-dependent susceptibility instrument (500-250,000 Hertz). The frequency- and size-dependent susceptibility for hematite, goethite, and magnetite are calibrated using the known size powdered (commercial) samples.
