Popis: [1] The possibility of self-reversal of chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) is studied on synthetic samples of titanomagnetites (Fe3−xTixO4, where x = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) that experienced multiphase oxidation in air at 500◦C in the presence of the constant magnetic field H = 0.1 mT. The self-reversal was fixed in accordance with anomalous behavior of CRM curves of cooling (in H = 0) and heating (in H = 0). Complete self-reversal of CRM is discovered experimentally in samples of oxidized titanomagnetites with initial x = 0.6, while partial self-reversal is revealed in other titanomagnetite compositions. Superposition of a partial thermoremanent magnetization (pTRM) on CRM showed that heating curves of CRM+pTRM are also anomalous, but negative values of the total magnetization are not observed.
