Magnetic Anomaly

In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

Proterozoic Eon

Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

Weakened geomagnetic field:

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

Nono a buzz cut will generally produce loose biogenic material.

Apologies, after doing more "research" you are correct. Turn out clipping your finger nails also produces loose biogenic material.
