Notes. 

(1)

Time-interval for Pu-fission track cooling rate from 550 − 390 K, metallographic cooling rate 800–600 K.

(2)

Recalculated for miscalibration of K decay constant (explanation see text and Trieloff et al. 2003).

(3)

Data from Hf-W: Kleine et al. (2008), U-Pb-Pb: (Göpel et al. 1994), Ar-Ar: Trieloff et al. (2003), metallographic cooling rates: Taylor et al. (1987).

(4)

Calculated age at 390 K from time interval between Pu-fission track (merrilite, 390 K) and Pu-fission tracks at 550 K (pyroxene) compared to Ar-Ar feldspar age at 550 K.
