Figure 43.

Time-scales of Solar System formation and post-core formation accretion. Shown are the ages of crystallization of calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions (CAI’s), chondrules and various meteorites, lunar Apollo mission samples and terrestrial rocks. Also shown is the approximate timing of Earth–Moon system formation (at least 30 Ma after Solar System formation), and lines showing approximately when the completion of core growth (Pre-core fm. completion) and major stage(s) of late accretion (Post-core fm.) can currently be estimated from meteorites and terrestrial rocks.
