This chapter demonstrates the stratigraphic application of measurements of magnetic susceptibility and related parameters to the sediment record at Site 514. The work identifies two periods characterized by pronounced fluctuations in magnetic mineral concentration and in magnetic hardness: from 0-ca. 0.75 Ma (0-ca. 10 m sub-bottom) and from ca. 2.6-3.0 Ma (ca. 60-90 m sub-bottom). The fluctuations are tentatively ascribed to changes in current paleovelocity effecting periods of relative concentration of magnetic minerals. Comparison of the inferred record of current paleovelocity at Site 514 with that from a site in the Vema Channel, South Atlantic, suggests some accordance. An attempt is made to express the susceptibility data in terms of an accumulation rate using the age-depth data available for the site. The results suggest a major reduction in the rate of deposition of magnetic minerals after ca. 2.5 Ma (ca. 45 m sub-bottom). Fiaally, changes in the intensity of Natural Remanent Magnetization (NRM) at the site are clearly shown to be controlled by changes in magnetic concentration and mineralogy rather than by changes in the intensity of the geomagnetic field. Attempts to normalize the NRM record using several magnetic parameters were unsuccessful.
