The Case Against an Early Lunar Dynamo Powered by Core Convection

Paleomagnetic analyses of lunar samples indicate that the Moon had a dynamo‐generated magnetic field with ~50 μT surface field intensities between 3.85 and 3.56 Ga followed by a period of much lower (≤ ~5 μT) intensities that persisted beyond 2.5 Ga. However, we determine herein that there is insuff...
