K-Ar and/or Ar-40-Ar-39 plateau ages of Allende samples - whole rock, matrix, chondrules, white inclusions - range from 3.8 AE for matrix to greater than approximately 5 AE for some white inclusions, but cluster strongly near 4.53 AE. This age marks the dominant K-Ar resetting of Allende materials. Age spectra show disturbances due to Ar-39 recoil or some other argon redistribution processes. Possible explanations for the apparent presolar ages (greater than 4.6 AE) include: greater than approximately 20% loss of AR-39, greater than approximately 40% loss of K-40 approximately 3.8 AE ago with no loss of Ar-40, trapped argon of unique AR-40/AR-36 isotopic composition, admixture of very old presolar grains.
