The Nd-143/Nd-144 and Sm-147/Nd-144 ratios measured in 5 chondrites and the Juvinas achondrite correlated with the variation of 4.2% in Sm-147/Nd-144. Most of the spread in the range of these ratios results from small heterogeneities in the chondrites and does not reflect the large-scale volumetric averages. A new set of self-consistent reference values were selected for the 'chrondritic uniform reservoir' (CHUR); the new Sm-147/Nd-144 value is 1.6% higher than the previous value assigned to CHUR using the Juvinas data of Lugmair (1975). The new CHUR curve indicates significant changes in model ages for lunar rocks and in the interpretation of early lunar chronology.
