Notes. 

(c)

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

(d)

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

(e)

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

(f)

Hf-W ages are from Kleine et al. (2008) and were re-calculated relative to the 182Hf/180Hf of the angrite D’Orbigny, which has a Pb-Pb age of t = 4563.4 ± 0.3 Ma (Kleine et al. 2012).

(h)

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