What else can I help you with?
What do scientists use to determine a fossil's relative age?
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
A researcher who uses carbon dating on anciet items?
The half life of C14 is about 5700 years, so items that are a few multiples of this time are suitable for carbon14 dating. Most archaeological items are suitable, and some young fossils.
What kind of dating is Carbon-14 an example of?
Carbon-14 is an example of radioactive dating.
What two things must scientist measure to find the absolute age of a rock?
scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in carbon14?
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
Radiometric dating is an example of .?
Carbon 14 dating is the best known example of radiometric dating, but there are many others. Another example of radiometric dating is the dating of the age of geological formations on earth. The oldest known rocks on the earth that have been analyzed, have been dated back some 4.404 billion years.
What is an example of absolute dating?
fossils.
Carbon 14 is an example of what dating?
