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?
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.
8.
The half-life of certain type of carbon used for carbon-dating is 5730 years.
Determine the age of a bone if it now contains 38 percent of the original amount of carbon.

Find the age for a rock that contains 3 times as much Argon-40 as potassium 40. Needs Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forwardWhat is the main reason to use C14 in age determination?arrow_forwardUranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of geological samples is one of the oldest and most refined radiometric dating methods, able to determine ages of about 1 million years to over 4.5 billion years with precision in the 0.1–1% range. The U-Pb dating method relies on two separate decay chains, one of which is the actinium series from 235U to 207Pb, with a half-life of 704 million years. Geologists unearth a sample of zircon that appears to be a closed system. They find 0.714 grams of 207Pb for 1.000 grams of 235U present. Approximately how old is the sample? _______ yrsarrow_forward
