Abstract:Magnetofossils are nanosized magnetic fossil remnants of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) that are widely distributed in marine and freshwater sediments. Past studies have revealed that changes in the morphology and abundance of magnetofossils are linked with diverse paleoenvironmental changes, such as glacial‐interglacial variation, redox conditions associated with primary productivity and organic matter supply, chemical weathering and diagenesis. Besides, it has long been speculated that changes in geomagnetic f… Show more
