List of Figures
Figure 1.Box and whisker plot of magnetic susceptibility values from rocks in the studied area grouped
by rock type. Boxes represent values between the 75th and 25th percentiles, the central bar shows the
median value and the box whiskers show the ashes represent individual data points, full range in values,
not including outliers (dots). Within the boxes, the small + and whiskers show. (Elizabeth A.Sanger
