An example of absolute dating is radiocarbon dating, which measures the decay of carbon-14 isotopes in organic materials. This method allows scientists to determine the age of archaeological finds, such as bones or wood, by calculating how long it has been since the organism died. Unlike relative dating, which only establishes whether one sample is older or younger than another, absolute dating provides a specific age or date range for the material being studied.

What must be true for a fossil organism to be useful as a index fossil?
The absolute age of the index fossil was determine by radioactive dating or another absolute method
Which dating method enables scientists to measure or estimate the absolute age of sedimentary rock?
Radiometric dating of igneous rocks that relate to the sedimentary rock
True or False Fossils may be dated by either the relative dating method which determines the relative order of fossils or by the absolute dating method which uses radioactive isotopes?
True. Fossils can be dated using both relative dating methods, which determine the sequence of events in which fossils occurred, and absolute dating methods, which rely on radioactive isotopes to calculate the age of fossils.
Which example describes method of relative dating?
using fossils to determine the oldest rock layer in a canyon
What is the most common method for absolute dating?
perhaps, radioactive... :)
Any method of measuring the age of an event or an object in years?
absolute dating
What kind of dating method is Carbon-14 dating?
Radiocarbon dating is an absolute, (it is used provides a calender year/s for a particular event), radiometric (it is based on the known decay rate of a radioactive isotope) dating method.

What kinds of artifacts do archaeologists use cultural dating?
Archaeologists used Absolute and Relative method and Written Age-equivalent stratigraphic markers for cultural dating.
What are those method which are used for absolute dating?
Radioactivity. The use of radioactive elements like Uranium (U) and Thorium (Th).
