The radionuclides Be-10, Al-26, and Mn-53, the noble gas isotopic composition of He, Ne, and Xe, and cosmic-ray particle track densities were determined in six documented samples of a large fragment of the Dhurmsala meteorite fall. Using the Ne-22/Ne-21 ratios and the Ne-21 concentrations, the cosmic-ray exposure age of Dhurmsala is deduced to be 13.0 + or - 1.0 My. The results suggest a simple exposure history. The six samples covering a distance of about 13 cm do not show any significant isotopic variations due to depth effects, as expected in a large meteorite. Consistent with the model calculations of Reedy (1985) and Bhandari and Potdar (1982), the results obtained in this study indicate that the Dhurmsala samples investigated here originate at a depth of about 20 to 24 cm in a meteoroid with a preatmospheric radius of R approximately equal to 50 cm.
