Recently synthesized (t not greater than about 1 b.y.) r-process material has actinide elemental and isotopic abundance characteristics which can be used to distinguish it from ancient r-process material. The time-dependence of relative actinide abundances provides detailed chronometric information. Also it is shown that, if N = 184 is a neutron magic number as predicted by nuclear theory, the resulting r-process production peak at about A equal to 281 will in turn yield, due to symmetric fission, a broad abundance peak around A values of 135-140. The present results can be used to help verify or refute some current hypotheses concerning the origin of UH cosmic rays and some of the abundance anomalies in peculiar stars.
