Chromium isotopic anomalies appear to be widespread in the Allende inclusions. Clear anomalies are shown in the 53Cr/52Cr isotopic ratio. Deviations from the terrestrial value are correlated with the Mn/Cr ratios indicating that 53Mn (half life T=3.7¿106y) existed at the time of formation of the meteorite inclusions. The initial 53Cr/52Cr in the inclusions is lower than the terrestrial value.
