Study of terrestrial ages of the Antarctic meteorites with thermoluminescence

  • Note Brevi
  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

The terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites were estimated from the thermoluminescence (TL) intensity of the fusion crust. It was found that there is a good correlation between the TL intensities and terrestrial ages which were previously measured by cosmogenic-radionuclide abundance. It was also noticed that the LT/HT value gives false terrestrial ages. The basis for establishing the TL dating techniques regarding the terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites is presented.
