AB: Since 1968 Michel Prévot has published more than 30 articles on rock magnetic properties, magnetic minerals and mechanisms how they carry a magnetic remanence. The studied minerals have been various titanomagnetites, titanomaghemites and hemoilmenites from continental as well as from submarine volcanic rocks, but also hematite from sediments or pyrrhotite from metamorphic rocks. All these works deal with natural magnetic minerals and persuade the understanding, how thermoremanence and/or viscous remanence are formed and retained. Contributions to the formation of magnetization from chemical processes as well as self- reversals have been studied. Many of these works have been carried out in the context of paleointensity experiments and how various magnetizations can corrupt Thellier experiments. The scope of this fruitful work and its impact on the scientific community will be reviewed and acknowledged.
