Cosmic-Ray Exposure Ages of Meteorites
2013, Treatise on Geochemistry: Second Edition
The concept of a cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) age for a meteorite is based on a simple but useful picture of meteorite evolution, the one-stage irradiation model. CRE ages have implications for several interrelated questions. From how many different parent bodies do meteorites come? How well do meteorites represent the population of their source region? How many distinct collisions on each parent body have created the known meteorites of each type? How often do parent bodies collide? How big and how energetic were the collisions that produced meteoroids? What factors control the CRE age of a meteorite and how do meteoroid orbits evolve through time? This chapter touches on these questions as it examines the data. In recent years, CRE ages also have become important for interpreting small variations in the abundances of stable isotopes.
Cosmic-Ray Exposure Ages of Meteorites

Cosmogenic radionuclides in four fragments of the portales valley meteorite shower: Influence of different element abundances and shielding
2002, Advances in Space Research
Portales Valley is an unusual meteorite with H6 chondritic matrix, interspersed by heterogeneous distribution of metallic veins. Four fragments with different abundances of veins, as determined by their bulk densities (3.49–4.86 gcm⁻³ ) were analysed for measurement of the cosmogenic radionuclides ⁵⁷Co, ⁵⁴Mn, ²²Na, ⁶⁰Co, ⁴⁴Ti and ²⁶Al using a gamma ray spectrometer. Chondritic and metallic proportions were estimated for each fragment. One sample was essentially free of metal veins. The shielding depth of each fragment (14 to 81 gcm⁻²) was estimated using cosmic ray heavy nuclei tracks which varied by more than two orders of magnitude in the four fragments, ranging between < 0.6×10⁴ to 1.7×10⁶ cm⁻². The activity ratio ²²Na/²⁶Al was found to be similar (1.53±0.03) in the four fragments, independent of shielding depth and consistent with the expected activity at the time of fall during the beginning phase of the solar cycle 23.
Evidence for a precompaction exposure to cosmic rays in a chondrule from the H6 chondrite ALH76008
1999, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta
We studied the cosmic-ray records of the H6 chondrite ALH76008 in a bulk sample, in a chondrule fragment, and in matrix material. The matrix was separated into olivine/pyroxene, plagioclase, and metal concentrates. For all samples He, Ne, and Ar isotopic measurements were performed. The cosmic-ray exposure age of the bulk chondrite is 1.72 ± 0.11 Ma, whereas the ³He, ²¹Ne, and ³⁸Ar ages of the chondrule exceed those of bulk material by 31%, 67%, and 55%, respectively. The radiation environment in the early solar system is ill defined, but for current production rates this translates into a precompaction exposure time of 0.90 Ma. Furthermore, the plagioclase (mainly anorthite) concentrate, representing a few percent of the total meteorite, contains solar-type noble gases that reveal differential irradiation of ALH76008 components. We observe a trapped ratio ²⁰Ne/²²Ne = 12.3 ± 0.3, a value that is between those of solar wind and solar energetic particles. This is the first clear identification of differential irradiation conditions between a chondrule and the bulk chondrite; the short exposure age may favor the resolution of differential exposure histories.
Ejection times of Martian meteorites
1997, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta
Noble gas isotopic analyses were made for four meteorites whose origin is Mars: basaltic shergottites Queen Alexandra Range 94201, Zagami, the Iherzolite LEW88516, and orthopyroxenite Allan Hills 84001. The latter one was separated into orthopyroxene, chromite, and maskelynite fractions. Ejection times were calculated for all Martian meteorites using cosmic-ray exposure ages based on ³He, ²¹Ne, and ³⁸Ar concentrations and literature data on the terrestrial ages. We discuss the arguments for a scenario in which they were ejected from Mars by asteroidal or cometary impact as small meteoroids and were delivered to Earth within and up to 15 million years. The basaltic shergottites QUE94201, Shergotty, and Zagami show an ejection age cluster at 2.76 Ma, the fourth basaltic shergottite EET79001 being younger (0.82 Ma). Lherzolites LEW88516 and ALH77005 were ejected by a later event 3.84 Ma ago. All nakhlites, Nakhla, Governador Valadares, and Lafayette, originate from an event 11.0 Ma ago. Although Chassigny is chemically distinct from the nakhlites, its ejection age is 11.6 Ma. Whether this is a separate event cannot be decided from the available data. Finally, orthopyroxenite ALH84001 was launched from Mars 14.4 Ma ago. The distribution of the delivery times for Martian meteorites to Earth reflect individual impact events onto five or six different source terrains. This result is significant in the context of a comprehensive knowledge of the Martian crust composition. Finally, we derived the K−⁴⁰Ar gas retention age of ALH84001 mineral fractions adopting two different models: Assuming a component of Martian atmospheric Ar with $^{40} Ar^{36} Ar = 1790$ trapped by this meteorite we obtained an age of 3390 Ma. On the other hand, assuming no contribution of Martian atmospheric Ar, the resulting K−⁴⁰Ar age is about 4100 Ma, that is, roughly 500 Ma younger than the reported SmNd crystallization age.
