Crystallization Ages and Planetary Differentiation
The concept extends beyond terrestrial geology. Analysis of meteoritic inclusions suggests that crystallization ages of chondrules-millimeter-sized spherical condensates found in chondritic meteorites-provide crucial insight into the initial thermal budget of the Solar Nebula. The oldest measured chondrule crystallization ages consistently cluster around $4.567 \pm 0.005 \text{ Ga}$, which is interpreted as the precise mo…
