The grain-size dependence of the initial susceptibility (Xin), saturation magnetization (Js), saturation remanence (Jrs), coercive force (Hc), remanent coercive force (Hcr) and remanent acquisition coercive force (Hcr′), is reported for four natural pyrrhotites in a grain-size range from 250 μm down to < 5 μm. Xin decreases with decreasing grain size (range 7 × 10−5−1 × 10−5 m3 kg ...
