The results of the determination of the fission track age of the Brahin pallasite are presented. Crystals of phosphates (stanfieldites), with an enhanced uranium concentration, were found directly in the investigated samples. Fossil tracks in them are represented by two generations. The distribution and partial annealing of first-generation track lengths point to a shock/thermal event at an early stage in the cosmic history of the pallasite. The value of the fission track age, registering the time of its passage, was computed from second-generation tracks. It was shown that the second generation is represented mainly by tracks of the spontaneous fission of ^238U and ^244Pu nuclei (ρ_Pu/ρ_U~ 4). The calculations performed made it possible to establish that the last intensive thermal event in the cosmic history of the Brahin pallasite occurred 4.26-4.20 billion years ago. The temperature of the reheating of its parent body did not rise above 500°C. The excellently preserved character of the second-generation tracks provides evidence that the pallasite underwent subsequent cosmic evolution in mild conditions.
