Abstract
It is suggested that the : ratio of iron meteorites be measured after the samples have been heated. It is anticipated that the ratio will be greater than in corresponding unheated samples. Results of such experiments are of importance in dating the breakup of the meteorite's parent planet as well as for estimating the value of the prehistoric cosmic-ray flux.
