Scientific paper

The K 41 and A 40 have been determined in seven specimens of five falls of iron meteorites. The measured A 40 content was found to be principally radiogenic in origin, and associated with the potassium. Under the usual assumptions accepted for this method, ages have been calculated and found to be close to 10 × 10 9 years, which is about twice the reported age of stone meteorites, and also higher than the supposed age of the universe.
