Anything older than 50,000 years must be dated on the bassi of a radioactive isotop that has a half-life longer than that of carbon-14. One such isotope is Potassium-40.

Why is potassium 40 used to date objects older than 50 000 years old?

Potassium-40 is used for dating objects older than 50,000 years because its half-life is about 1.3 billion years, allowing for dating of older materials. When potassium-40 decays to argon-40, the amount of argon-40 trapped in a sample provides a way to estimate the sample's age. This method is particularly useful for dating rocks and minerals.
