After two half-lives, 25% of an isotopes original number of atoms remains.

AT = A0 2 (-T/H)

Where A0 is the original activity, AT is the activity after some time T, and H is the half-life in units of T, so ...

A2 = A0 2 (-2/1)

A2 = 0.25 A0

Compare and contrast original remains with other kinds of fossils what kinds of information would only be available for the origninal remains. are there any limitations to the use of origanial remain?

Original remains are the actual body parts of an organism, such as bones or teeth, while other fossils are impressions or molds of the organism. Original remains can provide information about soft tissues, behavior, and physiology that other fossils cannot. However, original remains are rare and may be subject to decay or damage, limiting their availability for study. Additionally, original remains may not always be well-preserved or complete, which can limit the amount of information that can be obtained from them.
