We present low resolution , integrated Keck spectra of the five globular clusters ( GCs ) of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy .
We find a tentative age spread among the clusters , with the GC H5 younger by 2–3 Gyr than the others .
The clusters generally appear to be very metal-poor ( [ Fe/H ] \sim - 1.8 ) , with the cluster H4 slightly more metal-rich at [ Fe/H ] = - 1.5 .
We speculate that cluster H4 is similar to the Galactic GC Ruprecht 106 , which lacks the [ \alpha /Fe ] enhancement typical among metal-poor GCs in the Milky Way .
High-resolution spectroscopy of individual cluster and field stars will be needed to sort out the surprisingly complex history of GC formation and evolution in this galaxy .
