Using a recently developed furnace, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) thermomagnetic studies up to 900¿C were employed to measure the Curie points of the superparamagnetic (SP) and single domain (SD) particles in lunar soils and potential magnetic analogue materials. Based on measured Curie points of 775¿10¿C, the SP and SD particles in lunar soils 10084-853, 12070-29, 14161-46, and 67010-4 are essentially pure metallic Fe. Synthetic and terrestrial samples containing magnetite, titanomaghemites, and magnetite-like particles have measured Curie points <600¿C are thus not magnetic analogues of lunar soils.
