About

Geochronology is the scientific field dedicated to determining the absolute age of rocks, minerals, fossils, and sediments, thereby establishing a temporal framework for Earth's history and geological events. This is primarily achieved through quantitative techniques, notably radiometric dating, which utilize the predictable decay rates of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes, principles rooted in nuclear physics.
