During a field trip, you and your friends found a large piece of bone fossil buried in thick sediments. Applying your geological knowledge of relative dating, you suspected the sediments to be in the late Pleistocene epoch. Out of curiosity, you want to spend some money to have the fossil dated accurately. Which is the best lab you should consider? O Alab specialized in radiocarbon dating O A group of field geologists with expertise in relative dating of sedimentary rocks A lab specialized in radiometric dating O A famous lab of paleontologists in a renowned university
