Both ship ogram directional d s demo and/or deformed. In an attempt to characterize any deformation, we carried out anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) exper-iments on a suite of samples from Sites 1262 and 1267. Results show that the cores have suffered at least two kinds of deformation, one producing a tilting of the foliation (by up to 40 ◦ from horizontal in some intervals), and the other producing a lineated fabric. The former is firmly linked to lithology – higher carbonate content results in a higher degree of tilting – while the latter may be more closely tied to depth, suggesting the two fabrics result from different processes. The remanence directions show no obvious correla-tion to either acquired dur cores, but p that the def
