Scientific paper

Silicate from two unusual iron-rich meteorites were analyzed by the I-Xe and 40Ar-39Ar techniques. Enon, an anomalous iron meteorite with chondritic silicate, shows no loss of radiogenic 40Ar at low temperature, and gives a plateau age of 4.59±0.03 Ga. The Eagle Station pallasite, the most 16O-rich meteorite known, gives a complex 40Ar-39Ar age pattern which suggests a recent (⪉0.85 Ga) severe thermal disturbance. The absence of excess 129Xe, and the low trapped Ar and Xe contents, are consistent with this interpretation.
