The suggestion that the morphology of the geomagnetic field can be tested by inspecting the statistical distribution of palaeomagnetically-determined inclination angles has been challenged on the grounds that typical plate velocities require extremely long sampling intervals - perhaps exceeding the age of the Earth - in order to adequately sample the Earth's surface. Here, we investigate this problem by means of a random walk model and conclude that an interval equivalent to Phanerozoic time (600 Myr) is generally sufficient.
