Scientific paper

Evidence for the existence of an ancient lunar field comes from the NRM of lunar rocks and from measurements of local lunar surface magnetic fields. Even when the Fe particles present in the rocks possess enough magnetic stability to preserve a record of the original magnetizing field, there are considerable difficulties in estimating the strength of the field, primarily because of the chemical changes which take place on heating in the laboratory. These difficulties are discussed together with a paleointensity method involving heating in a more indirect way. A tentative interpretation of the results of paleointensity-age measurements is given.
