Scientific paper

Banerjee and Mellema (1976) have suggested that both the lunar crust and the primitive carbonaceous chondrites (CC) have been magnetized simultaneously by strong (approximately less than 1 Oe) magnetic fields associated with an early T-Tauri active phase of the sun. In this paper Brecher criticizes this hypothesis, and finds it unlikely that an ancient lunar magnetization could have survived the violent impact metamorphism of the ancient lunar crust, excludes any external source field for globally magnetizing the ancient lunar crust. The author attributes the observed magnetic features of CC to an enhanced early solar wind, and convecting strong magnetic fields. Banerjee's answer to these criticisms is included.
