Abstract
One of the exciting results of the Apollo program is the observation that all returned lunar samples contain a remanent magnetization. This finding, together with the direct measurement of lunar surface magnetic anomalies [Dyal et al., 1970; Coleman et al., 1972] and the discovery of magnetic fields on Mars [Dolginov et al., 1973] and Mercury [Ness et al., 1974], has provided specific incentive for the study of planetary magnetic fields. The magnetic properties of meteorites attained special importance as the second source of extraterrestrial samples. The study of the remanent magnetization in these samples can provide important information about the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of planetary bodies and the solar system.
