Magnetic mineralogy is the study of the magnetic properties of rocks related to their chemical and mineralogical composition. Here is presented a brief definition of these properties, the methods for their study and the abilities for quantitative determination of minerals, essentially iron compounds. The complicated case of the Dauphinois Jurassic calcareous shales emphasizes the various petrological applications of this kind of study and brings new constraints on alpine metamorphism.
