Radiometric Dating

Radiometric dating was invented in 1905 by Ernest Rutherford.

The methods of radiometric dating are:

Argon-argon dating (Ar-Ar) was invented by Grenville Turner in the 1960’s (?).

Beryllium (Surface exporsure?) dating (¹⁰Be–⁹Be)

Chlorine-36 dating

Fission track dating

Iodine-xenon dating (I-Xe)

Krypton-krypton dating (Kr-Kr)

Lanthanum-barium dating (La-Ba)

Lead-lead dating (Pb-Pb)

Luminescence dating

Lutetium-hafnium dating (Lu-Hf)

Potassium-argon dating (K-Ar) was invented in the 1920’s and 1930’s.^[1]

Potassium-calcium dating (K-Ca)

Radiocarbon dating was invented by Willard Libby in 1946.

Rhenium-osmium dating (Re-Os)

Rubidium-strontium dating was invented in the 1930’s and 1940’s.^[2]

Samarium-neodymium dating

Uranium-lead dating

Uranium-thorium dating

Uranium-uranium dating (U-U)
