If the value ALL is correct (debated), then USNM3898 must be 1\u20132 million years older than other CAIs (Podosek et al., 1991). This would require in turn that it have a much higher initial 26Al\/27Al value than other CAIs, on the order of 4 \u00d7 10\u22124. Podosek et al. (1991) showed that this is not the case, with initial 26Al\/27Al = (4.5 \u00b1 0.7) \u00d7 10\u22125, but their Mg-isotopic data had large error bars and there was clear isotopic disturbance in the data having the highest 27Al\/24Mg. Without the latter data, the slope of their isochron is higher (5.10 \u00b1 1.19) \u00d7 10\u22125) and within (large) error of being supracanonical. We used high-precision SIMS to re-determine the initial 26Al\/27Al in this CAI and obtained a value of (5.013 \u00b1 0.099) \u00d7 10\u22125, with an intercept \u03b426Mg\u204e=\u22120.008\u00b10.048\u03b426Mg\u204e=\u22120.008\u00b10.048 and MSWD = 1.3. This value is indistinguishable from that measured in many other CAIs and conclusively shows that USNM3898 is not uniquely ancient. We also confirmed evidence of later isotopic disturbance, similar to what Podosek et al. found, indicating a re-melting and evaporation event some 200,000 years after initial CAI solidification.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G.J.
