Oops, sorry: object * 1 m => object smaller than m in size! |

Innisfree had an orbit matching that of asteroid 1989DA and related to that of a fireball recorded by MORP (of 5/6 February 1980)... The cosmic ray exposure age of the Innisfree chondrite is 28 Myr, when the meteoroid existed in space as an object * 1 m in size [HUTCHISON R. (2004) Meteorites: A Petrologic, Chemical, and Isotopic Synthesis (Cambridge Planetary Science Series, pp. 506, p. 11)]. |
