Descriptions of weathering are typically qualitative. In the present paper, we use the induced thermoluminescence (TL) of equilibrated Antarctic ordinary chondrites to evaluate their degree of weathering. We find that induced TL sensitivity correlates with weathering estimates from hand specimen descriptions. We also find that the degree of weathering depends on terrestrial age, with meteorites that fell during the current interglacial period having higher degrees of weathering than meteorites that fell during the last glacial period (about 100 ka).
