Hi, all, This discussion about chondrules is fascinating! Hoping not to digress off this topic too much, but a question I have is about the metal flecks (not the later-formed iron meteorites) in any of the stonies. Have they ever been given an estimated age? If the heavy elements, such as

I suppose you are correct. I suspect the iron flecks in chondrites must be stellar relics. The iron is formed in the cores of all stars. Nuclearly speaking it is the stablest of all elements (lowest binding energy per neucleon...or is it the highest, can't remember) So as a consequence it is the
