The aim of this study is to use the measured values of the magnetic
susceptibility in the classification of the basaltic rocks and their different
differentiation degrees as an additional discrimination factor to the
geochemical analyses, which we
re applied on the basalts of southern and southeastern
Syria. So the magnetic susceptibility of ٢٠٤ specimens sampled from all
the ٧ basaltic groups in Qasr Shbeeka area in addition to ٦٢ specimens
sampled from three groups from outside the studied area were measured. This
led to the determination of all the magnetic susceptibility ranges, their mean
values and their standard deviation of the basaltic rocks in the area.
