Scientific paper
The space erosion of stony meteorites has been determined to be 650 microns/million years, while that of iron meteorites has been determined to be 22 microns/million years. The erosion rates are based on flux and size distributions of small particles in the solar system, meteoroid orbitals and the relation, determined by laboratory experiments, between excavated volume due to a collision and the size and velocity of the impacting small particle. Neither multiple collision or space erosion can explain the difference in cosmic ray exposure ages based on K-40 and those based on Cl-36, Ar-39 and Be-10. It is concluded that there is a long term cosmic ray variation.
