Filiberto Ranalli: A - Radiometric dating.Relative dating also works as dendrochronology is a form of relative dating. Have no idea what geometric dating is...
Antone Bual: (A) Radiometric datingFossils themselves are not (usually) datable: it is the strata that the fossils are found in, or the strata above and/or below the strata the fossils are found in, that is dated.(B) Relative datingRelative dataing cannot give a date without some strata having already been dated radiometrically or by some other means. Noting that in an undisturbed area stratum A is above stratum B which is above stratum C can only tell us that stratm A is younger than both strata B and C, stratum B is of intermediate age relative to strata A and C, and stratum C is older than both strata A and strata B. To get a date for any of those 3 layers, we need to have an age for A, B, or C (or, say, stratum D), and that age has to be determined by some means other than relative dating....Show more
Alisa Kaleiwahea: (A) Radiometric datingThe problem is that most fossils can't really be dated that way.
Willa Holte: That relies upon on the age of the fossil. Carbon 14 is an exceptionally solid technique may well be utilized on organic and organic stuff it quite is as much as 60000 years. Older than that, and different radio-energetic hint components must be used, however the accuracy is decreased. in particular,. the older the fossil, the fewer precise the degree.
