Summary The reverse natural remanent magnetism of nine basic dykes cutting the youngest unit of the Mull central intrusive complexes, the Loch Bà felsite ring dyke, is consistent with these dykes representing only part of the time interval for the intrusion of the Mull linear dyke swarm. Correlation with a second reverse polarity epoch represented in the Mull lavas and linear dyke swarm is suggested.
