K–Ar ages of meteorites: clues to parent-body thermal histories
DD Bogard - Geochemistry, 2011 - Elsevier
Whereas most radiometric chronometers give formation ages of individual meteorites> 4.5

Solubility and trapping of helium in apatite
A fundamental but unquantified assumption in U-Th/He dating of apatite is that grains do not
incorporate extraneous helium by solution or other processes, but large age dispersion seen …
