The pre-atmospheric radii of the Chassigny and Nakhla meteorites were estimated using the cosmogenic 26Al to be 17\u202f\u00b1\u202f4 and 30\u202f\u00b1\u202f5\u202fcm, which would result in their total masses of 30\u2013130 and 210\u2013580\u202fkg, respectively. This is comparable to the size and mass estimated for other chassignites and nakhlites. The cosmic-ray exposure ages of the Chassigny and Nakhla meteorites estimated using the 26Al \u2013 21Ne isotope pair were 12.8\u202f\u00b1\u202f2.5 and 11.6\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.8 Myr, respectively, in agreement with published ages of chassignites and nakhlites averaged from several isotope methods, i.e. 11.6\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.8 and 12.2\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.8 Myr, respectively.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P.P.
