1. Previous paleomagnetic studies have been conducted on five small-body basaltic achondrite groups: the howardite-eucrite-diogenites, Ibitira, ureilites, mesosiderite clasts, and aubrites.

18. As discussed in the SOM, we conducted ARM and IRM paleointensity experiments but did not conduct thermal paleointensity experiments. Although thermal paleointensities are in principle the most accurate, our thermomagnetic data (fig. S9) suggest that the meteorites would probably alter during such experiments, which would compromise their efficacy while destroying the samples.

20. These fast cooling rates mean that the Pb/Pb ages should provide a good estimate of the time by which the meteorites first cooled to ambient temperatures. Fast cooling also implies that the meteorites should be unaffected by low-temperature metal recrystallization that can complicate slower-cooled samples. 21. S. J. Desch, J. N.

38. We thank T. Irving for introducing us to angrites and G. Hupé for providing NWA 2999, NWA 4801, and NWA 4931; E. Jagoutz and La Memoire de la Terre for D'Orbigny; D. Ebel and M. Zucolotto for Angra dos Reis; and the National Institute of Polar Research in Japan for A-881371. L. Bei and C. Ross gave us access to their vibrating sample magnetometer for rock magnetic analyses, N. Chatterjee assisted with electron microscopy, and D. Shim assisted with Raman spectroscopy. We also thank T. Bosak and M. Zuber for advice, M. Varela for information on the handling history of D'Orbigny, and K. Willis for administrative help. This study relied on automated paleomagnetic technology shared by J. Kirschvink. This work was partially supported by the NSF Instrumentation and Facilities Program (to B.P.W.).
