Nuclear track studies of the Pasamonte and Moore County eucrites

The selective annealing technique was applied to samples from the Pasamonte eucrite with a view to obtaining fission track ages of clasts in the meteorite. The method did not permit cosmic ray tracks to be distinguished from fission tracks in either Pasamonte or Moore County. A difference between the fossil track densities observed in an igneous clast and the surrounding host material appears to be due to a pre-irradiation on the Pasamonte parent planet.
