G. Heusser et al., AL-26, NA-22 AND CO-60 IN 2 DRILL CORES AND SOME OTHER SAMPLES OF THEJILIN CHONDRITE, Meteoritics & planetary science, 31(5), 1996, pp. 657-665
Two drill cores have been taken from the main mass of the Jilin chondr
ite, Jilin I. One was bored perpendicular to the 2 pi surface of the f
irst exposure stage, the other parallel to this surface, and both inte
rsected at the presumed 4 pi center of Jilin's second exposure stage.
The probed depths were 65 cm and 105 cm, respectively, with a diameter
of 26.5 mm. Fifteen drill core samples, 2 documented samples and 14 s
trewn field samples have been analysed for Al-26, Co-60 and Na-22. The
reconstruction of the preatmospheric Jilin via Co-60 resulted in slig
ht deviations for the center position and for the radius (now R = 80(-
5)(+10) cm) compared to an earlier study in 1985. The Co-60 production
rate profile is now almost completely reproduced. A constant producti
on rate of Na-22 and of Al-26 during the 4 pi irradiation is confirmed
also for the center region. The good linear correlation of Al-26 and
Ne-21 yields slightly revised irradiation ages for both stages of t(1)
= 7 +/- 1 Ma and t(2) = 0.32(-0.03)(+0.06) Ma.
