Description

The subject is discussed under the following headings: radiometric age determination; the U-series disequilibria dating methods; dating methods based on accumulation of U-daughter products (230Th/234U; 231Pa/235U; He/U); dating methods based on the decay of excess U-daughter products (234U/238U; 230Th-excess; 231Pa-excess; 230Th/232Th; 231Pa/230Th; 234Th; 228Th/ 232Th; 210Pb); criteria for dating suitability; correction techniques for detrital contamination; open system dating methods.
