AbstractAbstract
[en] 87Rb-87Sr analysis of the Norton County achondrite has been achieved with special attention to the rubidium analysis. Enstatite crystals and polycrystalline material give an 'age' of 4.48+-0.04x109 years and an initial ratio 87Sr/86Srsub(I)=0.7005+-0.0004 (lambda=1.39x10-11yr-1, maximum errors). The feldspar component of the meteorite contains about 70% of the strontium and 30% of the rubidium of the whole sample, and does not lie on the isochron. Its model age relative to the strontium initial ratio of Allende is 4.6x109 years. The data are consistent with a complex history dealing with an incomplete isotopic reequilibration of the meteorite, 120 m.y. after its formation at 4.6x109 years, with an initial ratio similar to that of Allende.
