A method paleontologists use for determining the ages of rocks and fossils on a scale of absolute time, based on the half-life of radioactive isotopes.

method of dating material such as rocks that compares the amount of a naturally occuring isotope of an atom and its decay rates. Also called radioactive dating.

A variety of absolute dating methods based on the rates of the transformation of an unstable radioactive isotope into a stable element.

A method of dating samples based on analysis of radioactive isotopes and the products of their decay.

A general name for dating rocks and organic remains by measuring the rate of decay of radionuclides that the rocks and remains contain.

a method for determining the age of geological materials using radioactive isotopes
