The report concluded that radioactive dating was the only reliable means of pinning down geological time scales.

These figures were corrected in 1907 when radioactive dating of rocks showed that the Earth was billions of years old.

Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials.

Today's knowledge of fossil ages comes primarily from radiometric dating, also known as radioactive dating.

Radioactive dating is used to determine everything from the age of dinosaur fossils to Native American arrowheads.

Techniques for radioactive dating have been tested and fine-tuned for the past 50+ years.

At any rate, the most important and widely-used radioactive dating methods use nuclei that decay by the alpha or beta process.

More precise radioactive dating methods have fixed the age of the oldest meteorities orbiting the Sun at about 4.53 billion years.

The radioactive dating of that impact crater is probably close-but in any case, if the crater is missing, you're too early by some centuries.

Greg Bradburn There are many methods of radioactive dating, of which carbon dating is only one.

Radioactive dating of different sections of the quartz strand provides a time line of the stresses acting on the rock surrounding the pyrite crystal.

A new technique recently developed at Argonne may give researchers another tool for radioactive dating that could be of particular use in studying the history of climate change.

Radioactive dating of all the SNC meteorites shows their parent rocks condensed out of lava between 180 million and 1.3 billion years ago.

Anyhow, I don't think that any nuclei used for radioactive dating decay by the electron capture process (I could be wrong - I'm not a geologist).

Radioactive dating has shown an age of at least 854,000 years with eruption peaks at 570,000 years and the most recent active phase from 136,000 years to present.
