Paleomagnetic Studies of Returned Samples from MarsThe red planet is a magnetic planet. Mars' iron-rich surface is strongly magnetized, likely dating back to the Noachian epoch when the surface may have been habitable. Paleomagnetic measurements of returned samples could transform our understanding of the Martian dynamo and its connection to climatic and planetary thermal evolution and provide powerful constraints on the preservation state of biosignatures in the samples.
