Description
Gigantic magnetofossils' occurrence is very restricted along the geological records. Distinguishing them from ordinary nanoscopic magnetotactic organisms, the biosynthesized iron oxides these organisms produce are micrometric, and the biological function of synthesizing such large grains is still unknown. We approach the problem by micromagnetic modeling synthetic chains of gigantic magnetofossils built based on 3D-Ptychographic data of Precambrian (1.88 Ga) fossils.
In this dataset, we include the meshes used in our simulations (.pat files), Python scripts, MERRILL scripts, and outputs achieved from the simulations (.out files).
