To better constrain the evolution of metal segregation and impacts on the IIE parent body, W isotopic data are reported for 10 IIE iron meteorites and a metal vein from the Portales Valley H6 chondrite. In addition, Pt isotopic data were obtained to quantify cosmic ray-induced neutron capture effects on W isotopes. After correction for these effects, the IIE iron meteorites exhibit variable pre-exposure 182W compositions, translating into Hf-W model age clusters of \u223c4-5 million years (Ma), \u223c10 Ma, \u223c15 Ma, and \u223c27 Ma after CAI formation. These distinct 182W clusters likely represent samples from several discrete metallic melt pools on the IIE parent asteroid. The earliest metal segregation event at \u223c4-5 Ma was likely facilitated by 26Al decay as an internal heat source. By contrast, the younger Hf-W model ages may not be chronologically meaningful, and probably reflect the effects of secondary mixing and re-equilibration of metal and silicates, likely facilitated by impacts on the IIE parent body. Thus, contrary to prior work, the Hf-W systematics of IIE iron meteorites do not require a protracted history of metal-silicate separation on the IIE parent body. Instead the results of this study are fully consistent with a single partial metal-silicate differentiation event driven by endogenic heating at \u223c4-5 Ma, followed by one or multiple impact events causing mixing and re-equilibration of metal and silicates at a later stage. The exact timing of these impact event(s) remains poorly constrained, but they most likely occurred in the first few tens of Ma of Solar System history.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas S.
