Abstract
A field test of palaeomagnetic stability is described, based on a comparison of the magnetizations in mineralogically identical baked and unbaked sedimentary rocks. If successful, the test demonstrates the stability of the magnetization acquired during baking. Two instances are given of its actual application, one of which has led to a re‐interpretation of the palaeomagnetism of certain Carboniferous formations. The test is compared with the three main field tests in common use. Copyright © 1962, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
