Abstract
The fusion crust of eight Antarctic meteorite finds show natural thermoluminescence (TL) levels about 100 times higher than the levels in the fusion crust of freshly fallen meteorites, Dhajala, Jilin and Bansur. If it is assumed that this TL is due to cosmic ray received on the surface of Antarctica, the terrestrial residence times of the meteorites is calculated to lie between 104 - 105 years. Strictly, these periods represent lower limits of terrestrial ages of these meteorites, and are generally consistent with terrestrial ages calculated from cosmogenic radionuclides
