TITLE=Rock Magnetism of Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene Strata in the Lesser Himalaya, Western Nepal: Inferences Regarding the Paleoenvironment JOURNAL=Frontiers in Earth Science VOLUME=Volume 9 - 2021 YEAR=2021 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/earth-science/articles/10.3389/feart.2021.744063 DOI=10.3389/feart.2021.744063 ISSN=2296-6463 ABSTRACT=
The growth of the southern piedmont of the Himalayan boundary and its depositional setting has changed since uplift of the Himalaya due to continental Indian-Eurasian collision, which has resulted in variation in magnetic minerals in marine- and terrestrial-facies sediments. In this paper, we utilize rock magnetism data from the late Cretaceous to middle Eocene strata, including the Amile and Bhainskati formations from the Lesser Himalaya (western Nepal), to understand the mechanism controlling magnetic susceptibility (
