We present a rock magnetic study on ca. 100 specimens from a 7.5 m travertine section (BMH) and a parallel 1.0 m profile (BMP) to evaluate vertical and lateral variations. Concentration dependent parameters and inter‐parametric ratios point to varying redox conditions through time and space suggesting local paleoenvironmental rather than paleoclimatic control of the rock magnetic properties.
