We investigate the petrographic, geochemical and magnetic properties of fault pseudotachylytes formed by frictional melting in granitic rocks from Southern California, the Italian Alps and Kyushyu, Japan. The main magnetic remanence carriers are mixtures of grain sizes of fine grained magnetite. These ferrimagnetic grains record a stable, multicomponent magnetization that consists of one or more of the following: coseismic thermal remanent magnetization, coseismic lightning isothermal remanent magnetization and post-seismic chemical remanent magnetization. Fault pseudotachylytes from the three localities display contrasting magnetic properties, which suggests that oxygen fugacity and host rock composition ultimately control the magnetic assemblage.
