GEOL 131: Geologic Time: Radiometric Dating Radioactivity • Spontaneous changes in atomic nuclei • Loss or gain of protons or neutrons • Occurs at known rates – Each element’s decay rate is different

GEOL 131: Geologic Time: Radiometric Dating Example of radiometric dating • If a mineral contains 50% K-40 and 50% Ar -40, how old is the mineral? 1) How many half-lives of K-Ar have elapsed since the mineral formed? 2) How many years is that equivalent to? - This is the age of the mineral

GEOL 131: Geologic Time: Radiometric Dating Applicability of radiometric dating • Igneous rocks – Minerals in rock did not come from an older rock – So, mineral’s age is rock’s age • Metamorphic rocks – OK if mineral being analyzed formed during metamorphism

GEOL 131: Geologic Time: Radiometric Dating Applicability of radiometric dating • Sedimentary rocks – Very difficult – Mineral grains usually derived from older rocks – Weathering and erosion can “reset” clock by allowing daughter product to escape
