Abstract
In the exploration for massive sulfide deposits, many of the sources of magnetic anomalies are long tabular dike‐like bodies which are thin in relation to the depth of burial. That is, the width of the dike is less than the depth of burial. A program is presented to aid in the inverse solution of this interpretation problem. Demagnetization effects are ignored, and the program will not function for symmetrical anomalies. Given field‐observed amplitudes and coordinates of maximum and minimum points on a total‐ or vertical‐field magnetic profile, this program fits the corresponding theoretical profile for a thin dipping magnetic dike. Coordinate and depth of the top of dike, dip of dike, and width‐susceptibility contrast of the dike are calculated. A theoretical anomaly profile may also be calculated for comparison with the original field curve. Successive iterations may be used to refine estimates of the calculated parameters.
