A determination of the intensity of the ancient lunar magnetic field.Thermal demagnetization of lunar breccia 15498,36 shows that the natural remanent magnetization is a simple thermoremanence carried by metallic iron. Using the classical Thellier-Thellier method the strength of the magnetizing field at the time of sample formation was found to be 2100 plus or minus 80 gammas.
