Thermoluminescence (TL) sensitivity values for sixteen type 3 ordinary chondrites, fourteen of them from Antarctia, have been measured. The values obtained (normalized to the TL sensitivity of the Dhajala meteorite) range from 1.6 (Allan Hills A77216) to 0.010 (Allan Hills A77176), and include two (Reckling Peak A80207 and Allan Hills A77176) that are particularly low. They fill a hiatus in the TL distribution that previously existed between St. Mary's County and Bishunpur, the latter being a meteorite with one of the lowest TL sensitivities known. The histogram of TL sensitivity values now shows a single distribution with higher values preferred; it resembles the histogram for L chondrites occupying the petrologic types 3, 4, 5, and 6. There is a tendency for the TL sensitivity of meteorites to decrease as Δ18O increases; equilibrated meteorites have TL sensitivities of 5-50 and Δ180=4.5 to 5.0%, while the most primitive meteorities with TL<0.01 have Δ18O=5.7 to 6.2%. Meteorities with intermediate TL have intermediate Δ18O. Theoretically it is possible that the range of Δ18O values observed may reflected progressive loss of O in the form of CO at very low Temperatures, but very restrictive physical conditions and a complex history seem to be required.
