There should be a sufficient amount of the selected isotope in the rock.
The half-life of the isotope must be long enough to capture the age of the rock.
Explanation:
Sully must consider two main aspect before selecting her choice isotope for dating.
There must be sufficient amount of the selected isotope in the rock.
The half - life of the isotope must be long enough to capture the age of the rock.
- Radiometric dating gives a rock an absolute numerical age.
- The half-life of an isotope is time take for half of a radioactive element to decay.
- If the half-life of an isotope is very short, all the parent nuclide would have turned to daughter nuclides.
- Also, we must have sufficient amount of both the daughter and parent isotope in the selected rock.
