Verhoef, J. and Arkani-Hamed, J. (1990). Chemical remanent magnetization of oceanic crust. Geophysical Research Letters 17: doi: 10.1029/90GL01744. issn: 0094-8276.

The effects of chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) of oceanic crust on the anomalous skewness of seafloor spreading magnetic anomalies are investigated. Considering a realistic constraint that the actual magnetization at anomaly M0 is reversed, the CRM of layer 2A basalts fails to explain the anomalous skewness of the magnetic anomalies. The CRM of the deeper layers does contribute to the anomalous skewness of anomalies 33/34, but the major contribution comes from thermal remanent magnetization. ¿American Geophysical Union 1990
