The Thellier double-heating method, involving the heating of samples to successively higher temperatures and cooling first in zero magnetic field and then in a non-zero magnetic field has been carried out on five lunar samples. It is thought that thermal alteration (oxidation) of the magnetic carriers has been largely avoided but a possible physical interaction or chemical alteration at about 300° C has made it impossible to determine any reliable palaeointensity data from the samples used. Experiments with synthetic samples support Pearce et al.'s suggestion that the interaction is between iron and troilite.
