Abstract
We present a method for normalizing sedimentary records for estimating relative paleointensity of the geomagnetic field, similar to that suc cessfully used to obtain absolute paleointensity from thermally blocke d remanences. It has the advantages that it is more effective in remov ing unwanted viscous remanence, thereby improving agreement among vari ous records and that it allows the estimation of the uncertainty in th e relative paleointensity calculated.
