Xenon-iodine dating: sharp isochronism in chondrites.
Measurements of the accumulation of Xe(l29) from radioactive decay of extinct 1(129) in meteorites show that the 1(129)/ 1(127) ratio in high-temperature minerals in diverse chondrites was 10(-4) at the time of cooling. The uniformity in the ratio indicates that the minerals cooled simultaneously within 1 or 2 million years.
