Abstract

A Better Date Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating, which is one of the most commonly used methods of radiometric dating for old terrestrial materials, operates by comparing the ratio of trace levels of U with its nuclear decay product Pb. This dating method, and the similar Pb-Pb method, assumes that the rat...
