Hysteresis loops and direct current backfield curves were measured on 146 samples from Hole U1439C, 54 samples from Hole U1440B, and 56 samples from Hole U1442A, which were cored during International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 352. Saturation magnetization values correlate fairly well with the downhole lithology. For samples from Holes U1439C and U1442A, hysteresis parameters plot in different regions of the Day plot depending on whether their composition is boninitic or andesitic. Similarly in Hole U1440B, samples from the various petrologic units plot have different hysteresis parameters. The results show that the magnetic mineralogy varies strongly within each hole.
