Abstract

The radiation age of the Norton County aubrite has been redetermined as 107 m.y. by the Ne²¹ Al²⁶ method-much shorter than the earlier values of 220 m.y. and 500 m.y. obtained by the He³ H³ and Ar³⁸ Ar³⁹ methods. The new value no longer contradicts the notion that radiation ages of stony meteorites are governed by their lifetimes against collisional fragmentation.
