The U-Th-Pb isotope systematics of the eucrite 'Juvinas' have been studied in whole rock fragments as well as in plagioclases and pyroxenes. The results show that this monomict breccia crystallized with a very high U/Pb initial ratio at T = 4.539 + or - 0.004 AE ago. There is evidence for a less radiogenic Pb component (Pb-206/Pb-204 = 13.0; Pb-207/Pb-204 = 13.5; Pb-208/Pb-204 = 32.71) interpreted as 'exotic lead' induced by a meteoritical impact at the surface of the Juvinas parent body, 1.92 + or - 0.06 AE ago.
