Abstract
Use of the extinct 182 Hf- 182 W chronometer to constrain the timing of planetary accretion and differentiation rests ontheassumptionthatthesolarnebulahadhomogeneoustungstenisotopiccomposition.Here,wereportdeficiencies of � 0.1 part in 10,000 in the abundance of 184 Win group IVB iron meteorites relative to the silicate Earth. These are mostlikelyduetoincompletemixingattheplanetesimalscale(2Y4kmradiusbodies)oftheproductsof slow(s-)and rapid (r-) neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in the solar nebula. The correction that must be applied to the 182 Hf- 182 W model age of core formation in IVB irons due to the presence of these nuclear anomalies is � 0.5 Myr. Subject headingg minor planets, asteroids — nuclear reactions, nucleosynthesis, abundances — solar system: formation — stars: abundances
