POTASSIUM-ARGON AGE OF IRON METEORITES

· Geochim. et Cosmochim. Acta
The K/sup 41/ and Ar/sup 40/ have been determined in seven specimens of five falls of iron meteorites. The measured Ar/sup 40/ content was found to be principally radiogenic in origin and associated with the potassium. Under the usual assumptions accepted for this method, ages have been calculated and found to be close to 10 x 10/sup 9/ years, which is about twice the reported age of stone meteorites, and also higher than the supposed age of the universe.
