Abstract
, the first detected cosmic-ray-produced radioactive nucleus heavier than the Fe-Ni group, was found to be present in meteorites. The radiation age of the Macibini meteorite is calculated from the measured isotopic composition of krypton. This dating method should be applicable to most stone and stony-iron meteorites.
