Uranium–lead dating, abbreviated U–Pb dating, is one of the oldest and most refined of the radiometric dating schemes. It can be used to date rocks that...

requirements it has been superseded by uranium–lead dating (U–Pb dating), but in certain specialized situations (such as dating meteorites and the age of the Earth)...

Uranium–thorium dating, also called thorium-230 dating, uranium-series disequilibrium dating or uranium-series dating, is a radiometric dating technique...

Among the best-known techniques are radiocarbon dating, potassium–argon dating and uranium–lead dating. By allowing the establishment of geological timescales...

Uranium–uranium dating is a radiometric dating technique which compares two isotopes of uranium (U) in a sample: uranium-234 (234U) and uranium-238 (238U)...

multiple uranium dating techniques and is one of the most common radioactive isotopes used in radiometric dating. The most common dating method is uranium-lead...

with George Tilton, Patterson developed the uranium–lead dating method into lead–lead dating. By using lead isotopic data from the Canyon Diablo meteorite...

present in rocks as a result of decay from uranium and thorium. (See lead–lead dating and uranium–lead dating.) The longest-lived radioisotopes are 205Pb...

systems from younger organic remains (radiocarbon dating with 14 C) to systems such as uranium–lead dating that allow determination of absolute ages for some...

Japan. Uranium-lead dating is usually performed on the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4), though other materials can be used. Zircon incorporates uranium atoms into...
