What is the monetary value of the actual original Shroud of Turin or an estimate of the price?
It is hypothetical. It is highly priceless. Catholic church will never sell. Recent scientific studies prove that it is the grave cloth that did cover Jesus of Nazareth of first century. C14 done was flawed because it was done on 15th century repair patch of cotton cloth whereas the Shroud of Turin is flax linen.
What kind of dating is done by using radioactive decay?
Carbon dating
Where can radiocarbon dating be done?
Radiocarbon dating can be done at a variety of research institutions including Woods Whole and UC Irvine. Radiocarbon dating is done in labs with equipment specific to carbon 14 analysis. Most radiocarbon dating labs have liquid scintillation counters for radiometric dating and accelerator mass spectrometers for AMS dating.
How do modern scientist determine the age of fossils?
by carbon dating it is testing how much radioactivity is in carbon 14 because radio activity has a half life so how much radio activity is left then they can determine how old it is
What element found in animals and plants is used by scientists to determine approximate dates for an artifacts age?
Carbon. The process in which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
What element found in all plants and animals determines the approximate age of the artifact?
I believe you are referring to carbon. The process by which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
Does the Vatican verify the shroud of Turin?
The Vatican has not officially declared the Shroud of Turin as authentic or endorsed it as a genuine relic. Pope Francis referred to the shroud as an "icon of a man scourged and crucified" but did not confirm its authenticity.
How was the Shroud of Turin dated?
AnswerThe cloth now known as the Shroud of Turin first appeared about 1355 at a little church in Liry, in north-central France. This places a latest date on the shroud. In 1389 bishop Pierre D'Arcis wrote to the Avignon pope, Clement VII, that the shroud was being used as part of a faith-healing scam and spoke of a predecessor who conducted the investigation and uncovered the forger: "Eventually, after diligent inquiry and examination, he discovered the fraud and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit that it was a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed." This places the shroud firmly in the fourteenth century.Tests in 1988, by three laboratories (at Oxford, Zurich, and the University of Arizona) used accelerator mass spectrometry to date samples of the linen. The results were in close agreement and were given added credibility by the use of control samples of known dates. The resulting age span was circa 1250-1390 CE, which is entirely consistent with the correspondence from Bishop D'Arcis to Pope Clement VII.After the carbon dating results became known, someone put out a false story that the tests were done on one of the patches from the 1532 fire, thus supposedly yielding a late date. A Russian scientist, Dmitrii Kuznetsov, claimed to have established experimentally that heat from a fire like that of 1532 could alter the radiocarbon date, but others could not replicate his alleged results and it turned out that his physics calculations had been plagiarised, complete with an error (Ian Wilson, The Blood and the Shroud). No credence can now be given to this falsified report, and so the carbon-dating results must stand.
Is the shroud of Jesus real or no and why?
The shroud of Jesus is not that old aas history says , tests done on it fins that the material is much younger.
How is radiosotope-dating done?
you measure the breakdown of radioactive substances (like carbon 14) and compare decay product % to radioactive %'s
Carbon -14 dating loses accuracy for dates older than how long?
Carbon-14 dating loses accuracy for dates older than about 50,000 years due to the limited amount of carbon-14 remaining in the sample, making it difficult to distinguish between older dates. Beyond this point, other dating methods like radiocarbon dating are typically used.
Which type of dating provides an absolute age for a given fossil describe how this is done?
I think it's Radioactive dating, I've been reading for my homework and I can't seem to find carbon dating anywhere in the chapter which I've reread about 3 times so I'm going to assume its radioactive because relative dating is the estimation of a fossils age compared with other fossils.
