Calculation of Cosmic-ray Ages in the Iron Meteorites ‘Carbo’ and ‘Treysa’
The method is discussed for determining the cosmic radiation age of meteorites based on the fact that potassium-41 and potassium-40 are formed at the same time. As the result of isotopic abundance measurements the radiation ages of the iron meteorites Carbo and Treysa were determined. Procedures are described.
