Abstract :
[en] This paper proposes a first magnetic susceptibility (MS) curve for the Devonian Limestone from Belgium. A comparison with a large scale depositional model shows the complex relations between MS and paleoenvironments. Other Devonian-scale MS curves from other parts of the world are necessary to constraint these relations.
