Revisiting the radiation history of fossil meteorites from Sweden (Rebuttal to a comment by Wieler et al. On the paper by V.A. Alexeev 'Radiation History of Fossil Meteorites from Sweden,' published in solar system research, 44, 311-319).

From the analysis of the data acquired for the chromite grains recovered from fossil meteorites from Sweden (Heck et al., 2004, 2008), the dependence of the exposure age of meteorites on a mass of the examined samples was obtained (Alexeev, 2010). This dependence, whatever its nature, puts into question the validity of the conclusion on a long lasting (over the course of 1-2 Myr) and substantial (by 1-2 orders of magnitude) increase in the intensity of the flux of meteorites (L-chondrites) that fell onto the Earth about 470 Myr ago. All of the fossil meteorites found in southern Sweden could be the fragments of a single meteorite that fell as a meteorite shower in the Thorsberg quarry region ∼470 Myr ago. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
