Ar-39 - Ar-40 ages of acapulcoites and lodranites: Evidence for early parent body heatingNew age dating of acapulcoites (Acapulco, Monument Draw) and lodranites (Gibson) allow us to reconstruct the history of their parent body in a chronological framework. These meteorites originated on a common parent body -4.55 Ga ago. Non-collisional heating caused partial melting, with lodranites having been heated slightly higher than acapulcoites. This parent body cooled to the Ar closure temperature at -4.51 Ga for acapulcoites and -4.48 Ga for lodranites. The difference in ages is consistent with the higher temperature and longer cooling time for lodranites. Cooling probably occurred at a few to tens of deg C/Ma, with slower cooling rates at lower temperatures.
