Carbon-14 terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites

Abstract

The carbon-14(^C) terrestirial ages of four Yamato meteorites are measured and compared with the ^C terrestrial ages of eighteen meteorites from Victoria Land. The youngest Yamato meteorite, Y-75102,is (4.3±1.0)×(10)^3yr; the oldest, Y-74459,is (24±2)×(10)^3yr. The Yamato meteorite site is collecting recent falls, less than 25×(10)^3yr, at a more rapid rate than the Victoria Land sites
