An examination has been made of the considerable body of data now accumulated on the nature of the natural remanent magnetism (NRM) of lunar rocks, its uniformity within samples and the evidence for primary and secondary components of NRM and their possible origin. From these observations, an attempt is made to derive the most likely magnetizing process and the possible importance or otherwise of the various agencies of NRM modification. Besides terrestrial processes of secondary magnetization, possible processes peculiar to the moon are discussed. The nature of the secondary magnetizations appear to be best explained on the assumption that they are due to one or more of the processes that require an ambient lunar field (viscous, partial thermoremanent and shock magnetization. When associated with other types of evidence obtained from lunar magnetism studies, investigation of lunar sample remanent magnetism now favors the existence of an ancient lunar magnetic field.
