Abstract Concentrations and isotopic ratios of noble gases are reported for nineteen Japanese chondrites. Among those, Nio (H3-4) is a solar-gas-rich meteorite.U/Th - He ages are younger than K - Ar ages for all meteorites studied. Six of the nine L-chondrites give significantly young K-Ar ages, suggesting gas loss by impact shock heating. The remaining three L-chondrites and seven of the ten H-chondrites have K-Ar ages older than 4 Ga. The L-chondrite Nogata and the H-chondrites Numakai, Ogi and Higashi-Koen have concordant ages.Cosmic-ray exposure ages for six of the H-chondrites show clustering around the 6-Myr peak in the distribution of exposure ages, while those for the L-chondrites, ranging from 8.2 to 64 Myr, do not show clustering.Fukutomi (L4) contains trapped 36Ar in excess, 3.5 times enriched compared to the highest value so far reported for type-4 ordinary chondrites except solar-gas-rich chondrites. The 36Ar/132Xe and 84Kr/132Xe ratios fit along a mixing line between a planetary and a sub-solar (or argon-rich) component found in separates of E-chondrites [43], The Xe isotopic composition is identical with that in Abee and Kenna. The isotopic signatures suggest that this meteorite may contain mineral fragments bearing the noble gas component found in E-chondrites or ureilites. Fukutomi also contains 80Kr, 82Kr and 128Xe produced by epithermal neutron captures on 79Kr, 81Kr and 127I, respectively. From the neutron-produced Kr, the preatmospheric minimum radius is estimated to be 20 cm with an assumption of a spherical meteoroid.

ABSTRACTGround water samples (brines) from deep wells in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas are being analyzed for noble gases in an attempt to obtain radiometric ages for these brines. The brines contain radiogenic 4He and 40Ar produced from the radioactive decay of U, Th, and K. Consideration of hydrochemical data for the brines, various isotopic, chemical, and mineralogical data for the aquifer rocks and noble gas production rates allow estimating the age of the brines to be about 130 million years at two wells. At a third well interaquifer mixing has occurred and the age is presently indeterminate.
