Rock magnetic investigations of Permo-Carboniferous carbonate sediments from two areas on Spitsbergen are described, conducted to identify the carriers of the NRM in these rocks. Since microscopic and magnetic separation techniques could not profitably be applied, the nature of magnetic minerals was investigated by thermal demagnetization of the NRM and decay of saturation isothermal remanence (Irs) during heating to 600°C, as well as by the distribution of the median destructive fields of the NRM and observation of magnetic susceptibility after subsequent heatings. The results show that the NRM of these limestones resides mainly in magnetite, but creation of magnetic pyrrhotite and of fresh magnetite is observed during heating to 600°C. Presence of sulphides indicates that magnetite is an oxidation product of pyrite or of non-magnetic pyrrhotite. Examination of rock magnetic properties of limestones leads to the conclusion that most of the magnetite in the rocks of the Bellsund area is of detrital origin, whereas the rocks at Festningen contain magnetite derived from pyrite probably during an early stage of the diagenetic process.
