Natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of 5 Yamato achondrites and 2 Yamato ordinary chondrites is examined as a function of depth from their surface through the fusion crust into the apparently undisturbed interior. In 5 achondrites, the dark colored fusion crust is much more strongly magnetized in c...
