The age of the rock is to be determined.

Concept Introduced:

U-238 decays with the half-life of 4.5×109 years, through a number of intermediates, forming lead as the end product.

The oldest rock of the solar system has a composition of approximately 50% uranium and 50% lead, which suggests that Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
