Parallel studies on rock magnetic properties, petrology and mineralogy were conducted on 16 eclogite samples from the ZK703 hole and magnetic susceptibilities and densities of 41 eclogite samples with different degree of retrograde metamorphism (from fresh eclogite to fully-retrograded eclogite) from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) near the ZK703 hole, located at Donghai, southern Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt, eastern China. Results show: (1) that the high-field slopes obtained from the hysteresis loops (the paramagnetic fraction χpara) and density have a positive correlation with the volume concentration of garnet + omphacite, a typical mineral assemblage used to semi-quantify the degree of retrograde metamorphism. The low-field slopes obtained from hysteresis loops (the ferrimagnetic susceptibility fraction χferri), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization Mrs and saturation magnetization Ms have a positive correlation with the volume concentration of symplectite, a mineral related to retrograded metamorphism. Therefore they could be potential indicators for quickly semi-quantifying the degree of retrograde metamorphism of the eclogite units. (2) The dominant magnetic carriers in retrograded eclogites are magnetite particles in pseudo-single domain grain size region. (3) The P T conditions during the retrograde (decompressional) process could first increase the concentration of magnetite, which can reach up to 3% for extensively retrograded eclogite and then was dissolved for fully-retrograded eclogite. Therefore, change in the magnetite contents during the retrograde process is the major factor controlling the magnetism of retrograde eclogites.
