Abstract
Carbon-14 has been measured in several stone and iron meteorites. For "falls," the C 14 /Al 26 ratios in stones and the C 14 /Cl 36 ratios in irons are consistent with constant irradiation. The stone "finds" have radiocarbon ages of up to ≥ 21,000 years. The Henbury craters are apparently ≤ 7,000 and the Odessa craters ≥ 11,000 years old.Keywords
