Knowing the age of the fossils is the most important factor for the scientists that study evolution.  

The age of the fossils is found out with the help of objective and radioactive dating. The fossils themselves generally cannot be dated directly, as the majority of them have no or less of the organic substance left in it, and dating with carbon 14 is only beneficial up to the age of 35000 to 50000 years.  

However, with the application of radiometric dating, the scientists are able to put an objective date. By determining the concentration of radioactive decay in specific elements since the solidification of the igneous rocks, one can find out the exact date of the fossil.  

The most generally used elements for radiometric dating of rocks are uranium, argon., potassium, and rubidium as they exhibit fairly long half lifes.

A very important fact to be considered about fossils by scientists is the Age of the Fossil. This is found by Carbon Dating. The reason why the age is of high importance is because it determines during what time the fossil lived and how it is evolution.

If a double foul occurs during a down in which time expires, the period is ended
Zina [86]
This statement is false.

Double fouls are when two players on opposing teams commit a foul, which makes the fouls of the players "cancel out" and ball possession does not change. However, personal fouls are still charged on both of the offending players.

What are barrier islands? What protects the barrier islands?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed. Barrier islands are a specific type of island that lie parallel to the coastline of a larger mainland. They are separated from shore by a bay, lagoon or sound and because of where they are situated, they protect the coast from being directly impacted by storm waves or winds.
