It has recently been suggested that extinct I-129 and Pu-244 were trapped in primitive-solar-nebula ('presolar') grains and decayed into radiogenic Xe-129 and fission Xe before the grains were incorporated into meteorite bodies. This idea is reconsidered in light of the thermal and metamorphic history of meteorites. The criteria that parent and daughter species should never separate and that minerals or grains containing the anomalous xenon should not be subjected to temperatures exceeding 500 C are applied to iron meteorites, achondrites, and chondrites to determine whether presolar grains could be the carriers of rare-gas anomalies to meteorites. The results strongly indicate that the xenon anomaly could not have originated in presolar grains. Other difficulties with the presolar-grain model are discussed, including insufficiently small grain sizes, large variations in Xe-129/I-127 ratios in various meteorites, and apparently unrealistic meteorite formation times and locations.
