Hi Jim,

I don't have the exact references at the moment, but Dodd's book
Thunderstones, Wasson's book Meteorites..., and McSween's book
Meteorites and their Parent Planets are all good places to start. Each
contains material on the dating of meteorites.

Good luck in your quest. Oh and Jim, when you digest the dating into a
wonderfully simple and elegant explaination, understandable by all,
please share it with the rest of us so we don't have to "hand-wave
something about isotope ratios and half-lives" as well.

Sincerely,

Martin
