Abstract
There have been very few determinations of the ancient lunar magnetic field using the full Thellier technique. Samples studied range in age from 4.0 b.y. to very young. Four samples show values less than 0.1 oersteds. The fifth sample reported on earlier by Collinson et al. [1973] has a reported value of 1.3 oe. In this paper, we have repeated this determination and found essentially the same very high value. It remains to be assessed by further sample studies whether this value is anomalous and somehow associated with impact or whether this reflects a high intensity field in early lunar history.
