AbstractThe cosmic ray exposure ages of deep sea metalic lie spherules were determined by various methods; low level countings (Ni-59), neutron activation analysis (Mn-53), high energy accelerator mass spectrometry (Be-10, Al-26) and mass spectrometry (K isotopes). The exposure ages of 0.3 - 50 Ma were obtained. According to Poynting-Robertson effect, the starting points (supplying sources) are located at inner region of the orbit of Saturn.

AbstractThe materials of large asteroids and asteroid families are sampled by meteorites that fall to Earth. The cosmic ray exposure age of the meteorite identifies the collision event from which that meteorite originated. The inclination of the orbit on which the meteoroid impacted Earth measures the inclination of the source region, while the semi-major axis of the orbit points to the delivery resonance, but only in a statistical sense. To isolate the sources of our meteorites requires multiple documented falls for each cosmic ray exposure peak. So far, only 36 meteorites have been recovered from observed falls. Despite these low numbers, some patterns are emerging that suggest CM chondrites originated from near the 3:1 resonance from a low-inclined source (perhaps the Sulamitis family), LL chondrites came to us from the ν6 resonance (perhaps the Flora family), there is an H chondrite source at high inclination (Phocaea?), and one group of low shock-stage L chondrites originates from the inner main belt. Other possible links are discussed.
