dating measurements Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2011-12-07 20:44:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The rock samples, which were collected in the northwest Pacific in 1996, were built up on the seafloor at the very slow rate of 5 millimeters (one-fifth of an inch) per million years, according to various independent dating measurements. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/squid-geomagnetism-0304.h... As in carbon-dating, probably but not necessarily using such technique, and if this is doubtful, just “dating measurements”. Radiocarbon dating (sometimes simply known as carbon dating) is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to estimate the age of carbon-bearing materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years C can also be produced at ground level at a rate of 1 x 10−4 g−1s−1, which is not considered significant enough to impact on dating without a known other source of neutrons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating Germany where it was found, the carving is around 32,000 years old, according to carbon-dating measurements. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Swabian -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2011-12-07 20:53:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The rock samples, which were collected in the northwest Pacific in 1996, were built up on the seafloor at the very slow rate of 5 millimeters (one-fifth of an inch) per million years, according to various independent dating measurements. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/squid-geomagnetism-0304.h...

age determinations Explanation: SEDIMENTARY AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS AND AGE DETERMINATION http://courses.missouristate.edu/emantei/creative/glg110/sed... Age determinations of rocks from the Moon have also contributed to knowledge of the history of the Moon, and may someday be used to study the history of Mars and of other bodies within the solar system.
