You begin digging in the park while volunteering. You find a fossil.
Explain:
1. What would be your first step in trying to determine the age of the fossil?
2. Why would that be your first step?

Check off all the ways that are used to RELATIVE date a specimen.

Check off all the ways that are used to ABSOLUTE date a specimen.

Match the following dating techniques to their 'simplified' definitions.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Fluorine dating		bottom layer = older ; top layer = newer
Dendrochronology		bottom layer = older ; top layer = newer ...but with fossils and animals
Thermoluminescence		comparing fossils in other layers
Radiometric dating		testing bone absorption
Amino Acid dating		measure of an isotopes found in fossils
Cross dating		protein content in fossils
Stratigraphy		trees grow rings
Biostratigraphy		last time it was heated

What is one benefit of relative dating?

Works best for igenous and metamorphic rocks

It is very specific

Uses radiometric techniques

Relatively cheap

What is one advantage of abolute dating?

It is very specific

It doesnt take a long time to conduct the test

Works best with sedimentary rocks

Relatively cheap
