Noble gases in LEW88516 shergottite: Evidence for exposure age pairing with ALH77005LEW88516 contains excess amounts of radiogenic Ar-40 and Xe-129 that are slightly greater than those observed in ALH77005, but in the same relative proportion as much larger excesses observed in EET79001. Cosmogenic He-3 and Ne-21 abundances in LEW88516 are very similar to those for ALH77005 and are consistent with a common initiation of cosmic ray exposure -2.8 Myr ago for four of the five shergottites. Exposure of these four shergottites could have been under different shielding in a common meteoroid, or in several objects.
