Radioisotope dating Year 1896 Discovery of Radioactivity Discovery of radioactivity led to geological applications and measurement of parent-daughter isotope ratios in specific rock minerals. * Absolute ages of rocks Improved global correlation of rocks Refinement of Earth history timeline Ability to assess rates of major geologic processes

Radioisotope dating Isotopes = atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This one is radioactive (decays to He 3 )

Radiosotopes do undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, following an exponential decay law: where N o is the initial number of atoms, T 1/2 is the half-life of the isotope, and t is the time that has elapsed since decay started. Radioisotope dating =N =N o - N
