Scientific paper

An overview is conducted of the study of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in rocks and SNC meteorites and the interpretation of data regarding magnetic fields on the moon and Mars. Terrestrial paleomagnetism is reviewed to demonstrate the effectiveness of studying NRM during the early history of the earth. The NRM of lunar rocks is discussed with attention given to techniques and results suggesting the existence of a dynamo-generated dipolar magnetic field. SNC meteorites, theorized to come from Mars, are discussed and shown to support the notion of NRM acquisition from an ambient field on the parent body. Two important general features of meteorite magnetism in the solar system are the occurrence of tetrataenite and scattered directions of NRM within the meteorite sample.
