Rock magnetic results of red mudstone. a, b Thermal demagnetization of the orthogonal three-component IRM: circles indicate the low-coercivity component (0.12-T) field, triangles indicate the medium-coercivity component (0.4-T) field, and squares indicate the high-coercivity component (2.5-T) field. c, d Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) results. Orientations of the principal axes of magnetic susceptibility in stratigraphic coordinates (lower hemisphere projection) and plot of shape parameter T versus degree of anisotropy P’ (Jelínek, 1981). e, f Plot of IRMZ versus IRMX showing the gradient of the best-fit correlation line, providing an estimate of the inclination shallowing in sediments
