RE: Methods of absolute (direct and chronometric) age determination : Part 2 - Potassium-argon dating and other Radioactive dating Methods
I'm happy to see all your posts on archaelogical dating methods @zest. It's a topic I've been meaning to explore deeper for some time. Unfortunately motivated largely because of conversations I have with people who claim it is all bogus.
Hey @foundation, Thank you so much for the support and comment, when it comes to science , the beauty of it , is that it opens up conversations between individuals that lead to further investigations which thereafter result in the facts being documented so that other individuals may refer to these findings. When an investigation is fact based the discussion of it being bogus becomes insignificant. I hope that my posts helps enlighten those individuals that claim it is bogus.
It is bogus. K/Ar dating FAILED on samples of known age
can you post the source @mikka?
Not sure about the EXACT source, but the story is very famous: the rock that got dated by this very method to 250 000 years. It came from the eruption in the eleventh century on Hawaii islands. As a matter of fact they knew exact year it happened.
