Magnetic Paleointensities in Fault Pseudotachylytes and Implications for Earthquake Lightnings

Fault pseudotachylytes commonly form by frictional melting due to seismic slip. These fine-grained clastic rocks result from melt quenching and may show a high concentration of fine ferromagnetic grains. These grains are potentially excellent recorders of the rock natural remanent magnetization (NRM...
