Abstract

The Hatrurim Formation or Mottled Zone that crops out in Israel and Jordan was recently recognized as a complex of fossil onshore mud volcanoes. Geophysical prospecting was performed along several levels of road cuts through Nabi Musa mud volcano edifice. The obtained magnetic pattern of mud volcano edifice may be used as an example of the interpretation of magnetic field over onshore mud volcanoes that are characterized by spontaneous ignition of hydrocarbon gases.
