Abstract

Summary

Magnetization differences in rocks are related with differences in the content of magnetic minerals within rock units. Assuming that magnetic properties (susceptibility and/or remanence magnetization) are discernible between the various rock units, magnetic field anomalies could provide valuable information for the texture of lithological units and even be correlated with distinct lithologies. Delineating edges of magnetized structures is a common application of magnetic data to geological interpretation. We evaluate a number of edge mapping techniques in order to study the magnetic anomaly caused by Philippi granitoid and to estimate its lateral extension. Edge mapping methods can definitely improve the interpretation of magnetic data. They can delineate the locations of the edges of the subsurface magnetic sources. Applied on the magnetic data of the Philippi granitoid edge mappers succeed to map the edges of the granitoid. The PSG-HGM mapper is a robust method that can detect contacts even in the presence of noise. TDXAS filter was able to detect signal from shallow and deeper contacts.
