Some lavas of Early Carboniferous age from Scotland and Derbyshire have been analysed for palaeofield magnitude by the application of a new correction to data obtained by the Shaw method. Its application has yielded field magnitude values from data which had previously been rejected. A modern pottery specimen and recent lavas from Sicily and Westman Island have also been analysed.An average virtual dipole moment (VDM, Smith) of 2.5 ± 0.4 × 1022A m2was determined for the Early Carboniferous. This is only 30 per cent of the present-day VDM.
