Summary:

Acquisition of a secondary magnetisation is usually tangible evidence of a diagenetic or thermal event, which can be dated using palaeomagnetic techniques. Remagnetisation can also obscure primary magnetisations and a better understanding of remagnetisation could improve our ability to uncover primary magnetisations. This book contains case studies and review articles that focus on remagnetisation, chemical remagnetisation mechanisms, and magnetic changes associated with chemical alteration by hydrocarbons.
