“Key Points
- High spatial and magnetic moment sensitivity microscopy techniques have revolutionized meteorite paleomagnetism in the last decade
- Fu et al. (2021) used quantum diamond microscopy to reinterpret the magnetization of Allende with implications for the protoplanetary disk
- Further work is required to interpret extraterrestrial paleomagnetic remanences, and how to recover reliable paleointensity estimates”
