Recent whole-rock magnesium-isotopic data for calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in chondrite meteorites indicate that the primary nebular fractionation of aluminum from magnesium, probably by condensation, occurred within <20,000years at 4.567Ga. However, high-precision multicollector ion microprobe data for diverse CAIs from Vigarano (CV3) yield internal isochrons with a clearly resolved spread in initial26Al/27Al, meaning that CAIs formed and were reprocessed over a much longer time span. Primitive (unmelted) CAIs have a consistent value of 5.2±0.1×10−5, melted CAIs range from 5.17×10−5to 4.24×10−5, and one single object with a complex multistage history has an internal range of26Al/27Al=(4.77−2.77)×10−5. The entire range corresponds to an age span of ~0.7Ma. Thus not all CAIs formed at “time zero”, and only the most primitive CAIs should be used as benchmarks for earliest Solar System chronology.
