Abstract
The terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites were estimated from the t hermoluminescence (TL) intensity of the fusion crust. It was found tha t there is a good correlation between the TL intensities and terrestri al ages which were previously measured by cosmogenic-radionuclide abun dance. It was also noticed that the LT/HT value gives false terrestria l ages. The basis for establishing the TL dating techniques regarding the terrestrial ages of Antarctic meteorites is presented.
