Hello!
I'm looking for the formation age of the martian shergottite NWA4925.
Here I find the ejection age (1.1Ma) and the terrestrial age (450ka):

I have found also these pdfs with some information about 4925 and 6162:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2011/pdf/1610.pdf
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2011/pdf/2371.pdf
"If NWA 4925 is similar in
age to other shergottites (~150-580 Ma), then its Nd isotopic ratio is
consistent with a long-term depleted source similar to that indicated for
SaU 005, NWA 1195, NWA 5789 and Yamato 980459."
Here I have find this plot:

So I guess the formation age of NWA4925 is around 445-345Ma like SaU005 and
NWA1195, it's right?
Thank you a lot!
