5 1. Definition and application in geology Definition Magnetic anisotropy is a directional variability of a certain magnetic property, usually Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) Tool to study rock texture (Petrofabric) Compared to the other methods of fabric analysis (U-stage, X-ray texture goniometry, neutron texture goniometry, EBSD), AMS is fast, cheap, high-resolution, non-destructive. It can be applied to many samples covering whole outcrops, drill cores, or geological units. Application in structural geology and tectonics, volcanology, sedimentology, and paleomagnetism.

Definition and application in geology Anisotropic magnetizing ellipsoidal grain If one magnetizes an ellipsoidal grain of magnetite and the magnetizing field is parallel to ellipsoid axes, the magnetization is parallel to the field.
