I believe the age data was going to be announced at the meeting. I also
understand that all nakhlites studied prior to NWA 998 have similar
crystallization ages of ~ 1.3 b.y., and CRE ages of ~ 11 m.y.
(incidentally, the same as Chassigny also). It would be cool if the new
NWA 998 was to have significant differences in these ages, that would be
big news.
