Schmidt, P.W., McEnroe, S.A., Clark, D.A. and Robinson, P. (2007). Magnetic properties and potential field modeling of the Peculiar Knob metamorphosed iron formation, South Australia: An analog for the source of the intense Martian magnetic anomalies?. Journal of Geophysical Research 112: doi: 10.1029/2006JB004495. issn: 0148-0227.

Magnetic property measurements show that the strongly metamorphosed Peculiar Knob iron formation (IF), South Australia, is coarse-grained, high-grade hematite with variable amounts of magnetite and maghemite. This body exhibits a relatively low magnetic susceptibility (6800C) metamorphism may be possible sources for some of the prominent Martian anomalies.
