3. The Duggs find the skeleton of a Zillow beast and wish to carbon date it. If the half life of Carbon-14
is 5700 years, and we measure 60% of the original carbon, how old is the Zillow beast fossil?
What describes using organisms that were only alive during a specific time period to estimate the unknown age of items?
a.
Radioactive dating
Selected:b.
Law of superposition
This answer is incorrect.
c.
Relative dating
d.
Index fossils
A fossilized leaf contains 70% Of its normal amount of carbon- 14. How old is the fossil? Use 5730 yesrs as the half-life of carbon- 14.
