Abstract
We report on a 40Ar — 39Ar study of karnaite from the ⁓ 17 km Lappajarvi impact crater, Finland. Four samples from a 3,000 m profile across the crater center give rather well defined age plateaux and indicate complete degassing at the time of the impact event. The mean age is 77 m.y., much younger than geologically derived age estimates.
