We present a method for normalizing sedimentary records for estimating relative paleointensity of the geomagnetic field, similar to that successfully used to obtain absolute paleointensity from thermally blocked remanences. It has the advantages that it is more effective in removing unwanted viscous remanence, thereby improving agreement among various records and that it allows the estimation of the uncertainty in the relative paleointensity calculated.
