Abstract

A Reynolds type heating experiment on neutron irradiated silicates from Toluca indicates that the high temperatures sites began to retain radiogenic ¹²⁹Xe when the ¹²⁹I¹²⁷I ratio was (1.4±0.4) × 10^-3. This ratio suggests that Toluca silicates formed 65_-8 ⁺⁶ million years before the chondrites and the Shallowater achondrite.
