Dating rocks and fossils uses radiometric dating techniques like radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating, and uranium-lead dating to determine the age of rocks, fossils, and organic material by analyzing their radioactive decay through half-life processes. Radiometric dating is commonly used to identify the age of rocks on Earth and the moon, whose rocks are composed of three main suites: the ferroan anorthosite suite, the magnesian suite, and organic materials that can also be dated.

GSA_2014_Bozeman Poster_WM FINAL
The document describes a study of sandstone petrofacies and conglomerate clast compositions in the Late Triassic Hurwal Formation in northeastern Oregon. Clast count data from eight locations show variability in clast compositions upsection, with basal beds dominated by light gray chert at both locations. Middle beds contain more siliciclastic mudstone and chert at one location and skeletal packstone clasts at the other. Upper beds are dominated by skeletal packstone clasts at one location and chert clasts at the other. Sandstone samples plot in fields indicating an undissected arc to recycled orogenic provenance. The data provide evidence for an extrabasinal sediment source during deposition, suggesting flexural subsidence
Age of Dinosaurs Lab 1: Geological Methods
This document provides an overview of geological methods used to date rocks and fossils from the Age of Dinosaurs. It discusses the three main types of rocks, relative and absolute dating techniques, principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships. Key events of the Mesozoic Era are outlined, including the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods between 251-65 million years ago that encompassed the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. Contact information is also provided for Jeff Matzke, an expert on these geological methods.
Unit 13a Fossil record and geologic time scale
The document discusses how fossils form and how their ages are determined. It explains that fossils only form under specific conditions, such as rapid burial. Relative dating compares fossil placement in rock layers, while radiometric dating measures radioactive decay to estimate ages. The geologic time scale organizes Earth's history into eras and periods lasting tens to hundreds of millions of years each. Determining fossil ages relies on methods like relative dating, radiometric techniques, and analyzing placement near index fossils.
Final Presentation
This document presents a geological study of the Akosombo and surrounding areas in Ghana. It describes the aims of identifying and mapping the lithologies and structures in the region. The main rock types observed are quartzite, phyllite and sandstone. Fieldwork identified primary structures like bedding and ripples, and secondary structures including foliations, folds and joints. Geochemical analysis indicates the sediments were sourced from a quartzose terrain and underwent low-grade metamorphism. The study concludes with a composite geological map and proposed stratigraphy showing the phyllites as the oldest rocks overlain by quartzites and youngest sandstones.
MARTE
1) Scientists study Martian rocks that preserve geological clues about Mars' past in better condition than rocks on Earth, helping understand the geological history of both planets.
2) Analyzing rocks from deep below Mars' surface can provide information about how life originated on Earth and Mars, as the earliest life forms on Earth were proposed to be simple microbes underground.
3) A team of researchers argues that rocks several kilometers below Mars' surface could retain records of past microbial life and early chemical processes on Mars that were lost on Earth due to tectonic plate movement.
Fossils tell about earth's history (teach)
This document discusses fossils found in and near Fort Worth, Texas that provide evidence about the area's history. The fossils are of marine animals like gastropods, oysters, clams, and scallops that lived 100 million years ago. This indicates that the Fort Worth area was once covered by a shallow sea. At that time, a large inland sea also covered much of the central United States. Similarly, marine fossils found in Colorado and Utah show that region was also underwater in the past. The land has since been uplifted, showing the surface of the Earth is constantly changing over millions of years through geological forces.
Techniques in paleontology
Paleontological techniques are important for accurately studying fossils and reconstructing Earth's history. Key techniques include careful excavation using specialized tools to remove fossils from the surrounding rock matrix without damage. Fossils are also prepared, preserved, and sometimes restored in the lab. Relative and absolute dating methods are used to determine the age of fossils based on the geological layers and radioactive decay. Reconstructing fossils aids in understanding ancient life and environments.
The richat structure
The Richat Structure in Mauritania represents an eroded geologic dome comprised of sedimentary rocks from the late Proterozoic and Ordovician periods. While originally thought to be a meteorite impact structure, studies have found no evidence of shock processes. The structure likely formed from the uplift and erosion of an underlying alkaline magmatic body during the Cretaceous period. This research proposal aims to drill into the center of the structure to analyze rock compositions and better understand the subsurface geology and origin of the magmatic body through geophysical surveys and borehole data collection. Identifying the source and composition of the igneous rocks could help confirm or disprove the hypothesis of a subsurface intrusion related to continental ri

This document compares the deep sea rock and fossil records of coccolithophores and planktic foraminifera. It finds that the deep sea rock record shows an exponential rise over time as ocean basins opened. The coccolith fossil record shows a linear rise in species and a rapid then slow fall in genera. The foraminifera fossil record shows a double sawtooth pattern divided by the K-T boundary. It also finds the deep sea rock and fossil records are strongly correlated and that foraminifera fossil records may be less biased than coccoliths.
Fossils and rock layers
This document discusses key concepts in geology including the difference between a timeline and timescale, relative and absolute dating, fossils, index fossils, rock layers, and unconformities. It explains that timelines show events in order while timescales assign numerical ages. Relative dating compares rock layers while absolute dating assigns numerical ages. Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rock. Index fossils found in specific rock layers worldwide can help correlate rock sequences. The oldest rock layers are on the bottom according to the law of superposition, though layers can be disturbed by folding, faulting, or volcanic intrusions creating unconformities.
Mineralogical Ambiguity of Lonar Ejecta
This document summarizes a study of the mineralogical composition of ejecta from the Lonar crater in India. The crater formed by meteorite impact in basaltic rock of the Deccan Traps volcanic province. Analysis found ambiguity due to the prevalence of andesine, suggesting multiple phases of pre- and post-impact alteration. Glauconites were also observed but their characterization is still under investigation, presenting further ambiguity. The impact likely occurred on weathered basalt depleted in metals, and zeolites formed from post-impact hydrothermal alteration. Calcification of the ejecta blanket aided preservation of fallout.
Index fossils
The document discusses methods scientists use to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks, including the law of superposition and index fossils. The law of superposition states that in an undisturbed rock sequence, younger rocks will be above older rocks. Index fossils are fossils of organisms that existed for a short period of time, and can be used to compare the ages of different rock layers and help determine their relative ages.
Maths geology
This document discusses how mathematics can be applied to geology and provides examples. It explains radiometric dating and how it is used to determine the age of rocks. It describes the internal structure of the Earth and how seismic wave behavior revealed insights about layers and discontinuities. It also discusses scientific notation and how it is used to represent huge and microscopic distances and dimensions.
Middle Archaic Lithics
1) During the Middle Archaic period from 6,500-3,000 BC, climates were changing and hardwood forests were moving northward as new swamp, marsh, and river island environments formed in the Northeast.
2) Native peoples adapted by continuing as still hunters and gatherers but beginning to show signs of sedentism, as evidenced by changes in their stone tools.
3) Identifying specific stone tools as belonging to the Middle Archaic period is difficult without context like stratigraphy, radiocarbon dates, or sites undisturbed, as the Coe Axiom theory of one projectile point type per time period was shown to be inaccurate.
Geologic dating
Rocks and fossils can provide information about geological events and changing life forms in the past. The principles of original horizontality and superposition allow scientists to determine the relative order and age of rock layers, though not precise dates. Absolute dating methods like radiocarbon dating measure radioactive decay to determine the specific ages of rocks and fossils.
Shefa Yamem Poster 2009
1) Shefa Yamim Ltd. found over 1,000 pieces of the rare mineral moissanite during drilling exploration on Mount Carmel, Israel.
2) Moissanite crystals ranged in size from 0.1mm to 2.2mm and were found associated with kimberlite indicator minerals. Analysis showed the moissanite to have typical hexagonal crystal structure and composition.
3) The presence of moissanite indicates extreme underground conditions suitable for diamond formation. Moissanite distribution in the area suggests a pattern of findings from south to north in sediments and magmatic bodies on Mount Carmel.
Guide to rock dating chap 4
This document provides an overview of methods used to evaluate and date the geological record of Earth's past. Key methods discussed include examining rock formations and fossils to understand past environmental conditions and organisms. The principles of relative dating, such as superposition and cross-cutting relationships, are used to determine the relative order of geological events. Absolute dating methods like radiometric dating use the decay of radioactive isotopes to measure the precise ages of rocks in millions to billions of years, establishing the geologic time scale.
Schaen et al 2018
This document summarizes research on the Risco Bayo–Huemul plutonic complex in southern Andes, which formed over 800,000 years and comprises 150 cubic km of gabbroic to granitic rock emplaced at depths less than 7 km. Textural and mineralogical analysis provides evidence that the quartz monzonite portion represents a silicic cumulate formed by the extraction of interstitial melt from an underlying crystal-rich magma reservoir. The extracted melt formed adjacent high-silica granite bodies. Volatiles played an important role in transporting melt upward through the crystal mush and accumulating in vapor bubbles at the roof of the magma system.
Radiocarbon dating theoretical concepts & practical applications
This document provides an overview of radiocarbon dating and discusses reporting standards. It explains that radiocarbon dating uses the radioactive isotope carbon-14 to determine the age of carbon-bearing materials by comparing the amount of carbon-14 remaining to the amount expected in a fresh sample. Key points include how samples are calibrated to convert determinations into calendar dates, the importance of reporting details like laboratory codes and pretreatment methods, and an example of how radiocarbon dates from a site in Ireland can be compared to other contemporary dates. It also describes an Irish radiocarbon dating project that compiles over 6,000 radiocarbon determinations to allow comparisons across different sites and regions.
Archaeological Dating Techniques
This document discusses various archaeological dating techniques used to determine the age of artifacts and sites, including relative dating methods like stratigraphy, seriation, fluorine analysis, and pollen analysis. It also explains absolute dating techniques such as radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating, thermoluminescence, and dendrochronology. Relative techniques provide order of events but not specific dates, while absolute methods can determine calendar years through scientific analysis in a lab. Each technique has strengths and limitations for different archaeological materials and contexts.
Radiocarbon Dating 0
Archaeologists have discovered through radiocarbon dating and analyzing settlement patterns, cultural artifacts, and skeletal remains that the Mariana Islands were settled around 4,000 years ago by people migrating from Southeast Asia. As the ancient Chamorro population grew over generations, they were forced to settle in new areas closer to the shore or inland due to rising sea levels. Conflicts over valuable land for growing rice to feed the large population are evidenced by the production of sling stones. Latte stones, which were adopted after destructive typhoons destroyed many trees, provided structural support for houses while allowing ventilation and protection from wildlife.
Archaeological dating techniques
This document provides an overview of archaeological dating techniques, dividing them into relative dating methods and absolute dating methods. Relative dating techniques like stratigraphy, seriation, and fluorine dating allow archaeologists to determine the order of artifacts from oldest to youngest without providing specific calendar dates. Absolute dating techniques like dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating provide calendar year dates by relying on principles of radioactive decay, with radiocarbon dating being the most common method for dating organic materials from 500-50,000 years ago. The document discusses issues with various dating techniques and their appropriate applications.
Systems of dating
This document discusses various systems used for dating historical periods and archaeological artifacts. It describes calendars like the Gregorian and Julian calendars. It also explains dating systems such as BC/AD, BP, and BCE/CE. Finally, it outlines several absolute dating methods archaeologists use, including radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, and potassium-argon dating to scientifically determine the precise ages of artifacts.
Carbon Dating The Web: Estimating the Age of Web Resources
This document discusses methods for estimating the age of web resources by analyzing trails left over time related to their existence. It proposes that a resource's creation date can be estimated through examining: 1) the last modified date header, 2) the first appearance of backlinks from other pages or social media mentions, and 3) the earliest memento of the resource in web archives. The methods aim to provide a generic approach without relying on page templates or infrastructure by tracing the timeline of associated events.

The rubidium strontium dating
The Rb-Sr dating method uses the radioactive decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87 to date rocks and minerals. It works by measuring the ratio of rubidium to strontium, and the ratio of radiogenic strontium-87 to strontium-86, in samples. By plotting these ratios on a graph called an isochron, scientists can determine the age of the sample from the slope of the line. The method relies on the samples forming a closed system and not being altered after formation. It is useful for determining the age of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Carbon Presentation
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 and atomic mass of 12.01g. It has an electron configuration of [He] 2s2 2p2 and exists in solid form as graphite and diamond, and as carbon dioxide in gaseous form. Carbon forms millions of compounds and is essential to life as a component of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Radiometric dating
Radiometric dating is a technique used to date materials such as rocks by comparing the observed amounts of radioactive isotopes and their decay products, using known decay rates. For example, uranium is a radioactive element found in Earth's crust that decays into lead over millions of years. By measuring the ratio of uranium to lead in a rock sample, scientists can determine the age of the rock. Lead is a soft, heavy metal with the symbol Pb that is one of the decay products formed when uranium decays.

Radiometric dating uses the decay of radioactive isotopes like carbon-14 and potassium-40 to date rock layers. Radioactive isotopes break down at a steady rate, allowing scientists to measure the amount remaining in a rock to determine its age by comparing it to the original amount. Different isotopes have different half-lives, such as 1.3 billion years for potassium-40 and 5,730 years for carbon-14, enabling the dating of rocks from thousands to billions of years old.
Food science basics 2 - Food Chemistry Basics
This is the second session of the food science basics course developed by foodcrumbles.com. This session focusses on food chemistry. We'll be discussing atoms, molecules, drawing of molecules and the most prevaltent molecules in food (carbohydrates, fats & proteins).
The course sessions are meant for those with a limited background in food science but with an interest in improving their understanding of food. For example: food bloggers, professionals in the food industry, (high school) students and chefs.
Food chemistry 1 (m.s.m)
The study of food composition and properties is known as food chemistry. Food contains nutrients that provide energy and support growth, while nutrients are components of food used by the body. Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids, and can be saturated, unsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Carbohydrates have the formula (CH2O)n and include sugars, starches, and cellulose. Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
Chapter 16.3: Absolute Age Dating
Grade 8 Integrated Science Chapter 16 Lesson 3 on absolute age dating of fossils. This lesson follows the last lesson about relative age dating. This chapter describes radiometric age dating with explanations of radioactive decay and half-life. There is also a short explanation of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary age dating. The goal is that students understand radioactive decay, half-life, and how this can be used to determine the age of carbon fossils and different types of rocks.
U th-pb dating
U-Th-Pb dating involves the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium isotopes into lead isotopes. This method was first used in the early 20th century to determine the ages of rocks. It has since become the most precise dating technique. Uranium-238 decays to lead-206, uranium-235 decays to lead-207, and thorium-232 decays to lead-208. By measuring the ratios of these radioactive and stable lead isotopes to their uranium and thorium parents in a rock sample, its age can be calculated based on the known decay rates. The U-Pb dating method can be used to construct isochrons to obtain more accurate dates, though open system behavior can cause
Food Technology Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates can be categorized as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are common monosaccharides that make up disaccharides like sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Starch is a storage polysaccharide made of amylose and amylopectin chains of glucose. Starch gelatinizes when heated in water. Cellulose provides fiber and is found in plant cell walls. Modified starches are used as thickeners and fat replacers in processed foods.
Food Technology Proteins
Proteins are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur. They function for growth, maintenance, energy, and formation of enzymes and hormones. Good sources include meat, fish, eggs, milk, and cheese. Deficiency can cause stunted growth and kwashiorkor. Proteins are made of amino acid chains. Denaturation and coagulation alter the protein structure. Heat, acid, salt, and enzymes can cause denaturation. The Maillard reaction is non-enzymatic browning during cooking involving amino acids and sugars.
Food chemistry
This document discusses stereochemistry in food, specifically enantiomers. It begins by defining chiral carbon atoms and how they give rise to two distinct spatial arrangements called enantiomers. While enantiomers are mirror images with identical physical and chemical properties, they differ in how they rotate polarized light. The document then covers three naming conventions - D,L notation used for sugars and amino acids; R,S system (CIP system); and differences in properties between enantiomeric forms like differing tastes, smells, and toxicity. Enantiomers found in nature are often pure forms produced through stereospecific biosynthesis, while synthetic equivalents are often racemic mixtures for easier production.

Antique Diary Of History
This document is a diary entry describing the experience of being captured in Africa and sold into slavery. The narrator is captured while hunting and taken to the coast, where they are imprisoned on a ship along with other captives. During the grueling Middle Passage across the Atlantic, many captives die from disease or suffocation in the crowded conditions. Upon arriving in America, the survivors are sold at auction and the narrator is purchased to work on a plantation. Life there is difficult, with long work hours, meager housing, and brutal punishment including whipping and death for disobedience. The narrator thinks of their family in Africa and wonders if they will ever see them again.

nuclear explosion
A nuclear explosion occurs when the nuclei of atoms are split or fused in a self-sustaining chain reaction. This releases a tremendous amount of energy in an extremely short period of time. The heat and blast waves produced can destroy everything within a large radius, making nuclear weapons among the most destructive creations of humanity.
Nuclear science
Nuclear science involves nuclear explosions. A nuclear explosion occurs when the nuclei of atoms are split or fused together, releasing a massive amount of energy. This energy can be used constructively for power generation but also destructively for weapons if misused.
Nuclear Explosion
Nuclear science involves the study of nuclear explosions. Nuclear explosions release tremendous amounts of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. The first atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 demonstrated the immense destructive power that can be unleashed through nuclear reactions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
