AaU 012 has higher gas concentrations than Shi\u015fr 166 and clearly contains implanted solar wind gases, indicating a shallow to moderate shielding for this meteorite in the lunar regolith. The maximum shielding depth of AaU 012 was most likely \u2264310 g cm\u22122 and its lunar regolith residence time was \u2265420 \u00b1 70 Ma. Our results indicate that in Shi\u015fr 166 the trapped component is a mixture of air and solar wind. The low concentration of cosmogenic and solar wind gases indicate substantial diffusive gas loss and a shielding depth of <700 g cm\u22122 on the Moon for Shi\u015fr 166. All differences seen in the concentrations and isotopic compositions of the noble gases suggest that AaU 012 and Shi\u015fr 166 are most likely not launch pairs, although a different exposure history on the Moon does not exclude the possibility that the two meteorites were ejected by a single, large impact event.\"\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marianna M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros, Ingo Leya and Beda A.
