Abstract The Kiaman Reversed Superchron (∼260–318 Ma) is the longest known period of single geomagnetic polarity in Earth history (∼55 million years). It is associated with anomalously low dispersion of virtual geomagnetic poles and some high estimates of Earth's dipole moment. However, many of these strong paleointensity data are of poor or unknown quality. Here we report full‐vector paleomagnetic measurements from a series of mid‐Kiaman (∼282–302 Ma) lamprophyre dykes from Orkney, Scotland. A
