Abstract: | Cosmic-ray-produced53Mn (t1/2 = 3.7 × 106years) has been determined by neutron activation in nine Allan Hills-77 meteorites. Additionally,36Cl (1/2 = 3.0 × 105years) has been measured in seven of these objects using tandem accelerator mass spectrometry. These results, along with14C (t1/2 = 5740years) and26Al (7.2 × 105 years) concentrations determined elsewhere, yield terrestrial ages ranging from 0.1 × 105 to 7 × 105 years. Weathering was not found to result in53Mn loss. |
