The cosmogenic radionuclides, Be-10 (1.5 Ma), Al-26 (0.705 Ma), Cl-36 (0.301 Ma), and Mn-53 (3.7 Ma) were measured in selected clasts and matrix samples from the howardite Kapoeta. This work is an extension of that based on Be-10 and Al-26. Recent work based on measurements of cosmogenic Ne-21 suggest the possibility of a complex recent exposure history for Kapoeta. The measurement of these radionuclides, in conjunction with production rates based on Monte Carlo calculations, can constrain exposure conditions and durations. Taken together, the radionuclide data are entirely consistent with a single stage 4(pi) exposure lasting approximately 3 Ma.
