History and genesis of lunar troctolite 76535 or: How old is oldThe history of lunar troctolite 76535 was investigated on the basis of information from the Sm-147-Nd-143 mineral isochron age, the Nd-143 evolution, extinct Pu-224, the Kr-81-Kr exposure age and the cosmic ray exposure record. It was found that the troctolite minerals last equilibrated 4.26 plus or minus 0.06 AE ago and that the Sm-Nd system became closed at this time. The rock remained at temperatures where the loss of radiogenic Ar-40 was small.
