    Geochronology

    Geochronology is the science of determining the age of rocks, fossils, and sediments using signatures inherent in the rocks themselves. Absolute geochronology can be accomplished through radioactive isotopes, whereas relative geochronology is provided by tools such as paleomagnetism and stable isotope ratios. By combining multiple geochronological indicators the precision of the recovered age can be improved. Geochronology is different in application from biostratigraphy, which is the science of assigning sedimentary rocks to a known geological period via describing, cataloging and comparing fossil floral and faunal assemblages. Biostratigraphy does not directly provide an absolute age determination of a rock, but merely places it within an interval of time at which that fossil assemblage is known to have coexisted.

    Geochronology is the science of age dating earth materials (rocks, minerals, fossils) and geologic events (Fig. 2).It plays a central role in all historical aspects of the planetary and Earth sciences. Geochronology is an indispensable tool for reconstructing the geodynamic evolution of orogenic belts, dating the emplacement of plutonic or volcanic rocks, metamorphic events, sediment ...

    geochronology, field of scientific investigation concerned with determining the age and history of Earth's rocks and rock assemblages. Such time determinations are made and the record of past geologic events is deciphered by studying the distribution and succession of rock strata, as well as the character of the fossil organisms preserved within the strata.

    6 days agoThe Geologic Time Scale or Geological Time Scale (GTS) is a chronological framework that organizes Earth's history into various units based on geological and paleontological evidence. It divides Earth's 4.6 billion-year history into hierarchical units such as eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. These divisions help scientists describe and interpret Earth's past, including the ...

    Each time frame or span of time in geochronology has at least one dating technique. Late Jurassic is a time frame and Upper Jurassic is a stratigraphic frame so both are different time frames. The overall size of—or efficiency of carbon export from—the biosphere decreased at the end of the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) (ca. 2,400 to 2,050 Ma).

    Geochronology means dating of geological events. Although this expression was first used for geological time estimates, based on sedimentation rates, this term is now commonly applied to geological dating, based on radioactive decay and spontaneous fission. Geochronology is a discipline that lies between the earth sciences, physics, and chemistry.
