The aim of the Couy experiment in the 'Gtologie Profonde de la France' programme was to reach the source body of the magnetic anomaly of the 'Bassin de Pans'. The drilling stopped at 3500 m. Magnetic field logging and susceptibility logging were undertaken to obtain as complete a description as possible of the magnetic parameters of rocks crossed by the borehole. Remanent magnetization and susceptibility measurements on the core were also carried out. The entire set of results is presented in this paper for both sedimentary layers and the basement. The values obtained for magnetic field variations and for susceptibility lead to the conclusion that the magnetic source body of the AMBP was not reached.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
