The silicate minerals from MET-78008 ureilite with an old U-Pb age of 4.563±0.006 Ga were analyzed. The ^<56>Fe/^<58>Ni ratios of olivine and orthopyroxene are between 2700 and 5400. In spite of the high Fe/Ni ratios, we could not observe any detectable ^<60>Ni excess. From the mean value of olivine core data, we obtain an upper limit of the ^<60>Fe/^<56>Fe ratio at the time of ureilite formation of 1.8×10^<-7>. The time difference between CAI formation and ureilite formation was estimated to be more than 4 million years, which is consistent with the UPb data from the same meteorite. We concluded that the impact event for the disruption of the ureilite parent body happened more than 4 million years after CAI formation. However, a large uncertainty in the initial ^<60>Fe/^<56>Fe ratio is introduced by the possibility that the ^<60>Ni excess observed in CAIs is of nucleosynthetic origin. Our conclusion may change if the initial ^<60>Fe/^<56>Fe ratio of the solar system using CAI data is too high.}, pages = {103--121}, title = {Search for 60Ni excesses in MET-78008 ureilite: An ion microprobe study}, volume = {11}, year = {1998} }
