Scientific paper

The radiocarbon content of twelve stony meteorites, six with observed time-of-fall and the others finds, and that of an iron, (Aroos), has been determined in the La Jolla Radio-carbon Laboratory. The average contemporaneous radiocarbon content of the falls was found to correspond to 48.2 disintegrations/min. A much lower value of 5.4 disintegrations/min was found for the iron. Of the six finds, two were found to be Pleistocene. The average C 14 content of the finds investigated indicates that terrestrial ages of the order of a thousand years are quite common.
