[meteorite-list] terrestrial ages of finds ?

[Prof. Zelimir Gabelica Université de Haute Alsace ENSCMu,]

List experts,

Does any kind of compilation exist giving the terrestrial ages  
(experimentally determined) of FINDS, in particuler concerning NWAs or  
finds from hot deserts ?

Thanks for sharing any kind of info on this.

Kind regards,

Zelimir
