The remanent magnetization of the oceanic crust exhibits a systematic long-term variation which correlates with the amplitudes of marine magnetic anomalies. After a sharp initial decrease of natural remanent magnetization intensity, a minimum is reached at ~20Myr, followed by a gradual increase up to ages of 120 Myr. The progressive sea floor alteration of the magnetic minerals carrying the crustal magnetism is proposed as a cause for this behaviour.
