Popis: Abstract The Cuo E (CE) core contains the entire Quaternary stratigraphy of the CE Lake (31°24′–31°.32′ N, 91°28′–91°33′E, Tibetan Plateau, China). Here, we study the magnetic properties of 1,748 samples from the CE core, combined with scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray energy dispersive spectrometer analysis on selected samples. The main magnetic minerals appear to be magnetite and greigite. To further quantify the presence of greigite in CE core, 84 samples were analyzed using rock magnetism in more detail including: susceptibility (χ) versus temperature, coercivity component analysis of acquisition curves of the isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM), and principal component analysis of the first‐order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams. The greigite content and saturation IRM over susceptibility (SIRM/χ) appear to be exponentially related. SIRM/χ can be used as greigite concentration indicator. We also propose a rapid way to identify greigite in the CE core: When SIRM/χ increases and anhysteretic remanent susceptibility (χARM) increases only slowly, the sample contains greigite. Samples with SIRM/χ
