<p> Forty-Three cores were collected from the region of the Killarney Igneous
Complex, southeast of the town Killarney. These cores were analysed by measuring
geophysical properties such as bulk susceptibility, percent anisotropy, magnetic
foliation and lineation and remanence. The magnetic fabric measured indicated a
regional fabric. In some areas the fabric was completely overprinted due to localised
deformation. Measured remanence may make it possible to determine the effect of
previous deformations; however, none was seen in this study. </p> <p> The petrological fabric was also investigated by taking thin sections
perpendicular to the long axis of the core. Again it was possible to see a regional and
localized deformation pattern due to reduced grain size, grain alignment and
recrystallization. </p> <p> Measurements collected from the samples determined that both the magnetic
fabric and petrological fabric showed indications of being near areas of greater
deformational intensities. A relationship was then established between the magnetic
fabric and petrological fabric on a fine scale. This relationship may aid in determining
direction and extent of deformation in the rock bodies when it is not easily identifiable
in the field. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)
