Carbon-14 terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites
The carbon-14 terrestrial ages of four Yamato meteorites are measured and compared with the C-14 terrestrial ages of eighteen meteorites from Victoria Land. The youngest Yamato meteorite, Y-75102, is 4300 + or - 1000 yr; the oldest, Y-74459, is 24,000 + or - 2000 yr. The Yamato meteorite site is col...

| Summary: | The carbon-14 terrestrial ages of four Yamato meteorites are measured and compared with the C-14 terrestrial ages of eighteen meteorites from Victoria Land. The youngest Yamato meteorite, Y-75102, is 4300 + or - 1000 yr; the oldest, Y-74459, is 24,000 + or - 2000 yr. The Yamato meteorite site is collecting recent falls, less than 25,000 yr, at a more rapid rate than the Victoria Land sites. |
