METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: A total of 25 sites were sampled for the AMS study in red bed outcrops of the Permian and the Triassic.The sampling lithologies were claystones (six sites), siltstones (seven sites) and medium/coarse-grained sandstones (12 sites). Conglomerates and coarse-grainedsandstones were excluded from sampling. Samples were obtained in the field with an electrical drill in siltstones and with a gas-powered drill in sandstones, bothwater-cooled, to obtain oriented cores. Oriented blocks were taken (two or three oriented blocks per site) in six sampling sites. In the claystone sites (six sites), oriented fragments of small size and irregular shapes were extracted manually due to their brittle nature. All simples were oriented with a magnetic compass and samplingsites were positioned with a GPS. Oriented samples were cut using a radial saw (non-magnetic steel) in the laboratory: cores to 2.1 cm height and 2.5 cm-diameter standard cylinders and blocks to 2.1 cm-edge cubes. Ten standard cylinders were obtained, on average, in each drilled sampling site,and nine to 24 standard cubes were obtained from oriented blocks. The oriented small irregular fragments from claystonesites were placed inside a methacrylate cube with 2 cm edge with its oriented face parallel to one side of the cube.Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) measurements at room temperature (RT-AMS) were conducted at the Magnetic Fabrics Laboratory of the University of Zaragoza, Spain, using a Kappabridge KLY-3S (AGICO Inc.).

2. Methods for processing the data: The susceptibility tensor was calculated, including statistical confidence angles (e12, e13, e21, etc…), with the software SUSAR (AGICO Inc.). The AMS values for all specimens from each site were processed and represented using the software Anisoft 5.1.03.

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret/reproduce the data, please indicate their location: Kappabridge KLY-3S, software: SUSAR, Anisoft 5.1.03

4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: Standard specimens dimensions: 2.1 cm-long, 2.5 cm-diameter for the standard cylinder specimens and 2 cm edgefor standard cube specimens.

5. Environmental/experimental conditions: AMS measurements at room temperature.
