In situ Be-10-Al-26 exposure ages at Meteor Crater, ArizonaA new method of dating the surface exposure of rocks from in situ production of Be-10 and Al-26 has been applied to determine the age of Meteor Crater, Arizona. A lower bound on the crater age of 49,200 + or - 1,700 years has been obtained by this method.
