Abstract
A discussion of the ages determined by various methods is given. The results of 87Rb-87Sr, and 40K-40Ar ages on the silicate phases of iron meteorites are summarized as well as the internal isochrons on stone meteorites. The data for Kodaikanal are reviewed and the importance of recognizing events of intermediate age in the formation of planetary objects is emphasized. It is shown that it is possible to resolve time events by high precision Sr measurements to 5 x 107 years for chondrites.
