Uranium-thorium Dating

Uranium-Thorium Dating is a radiometric dating method that determines the age of calcium carbonate materials, such as speleothems and coral, by measuring the degree of radioactive decay in the uranium-thorium decay chain, specifically the ingrowth of thorium-230 from the decay of uranium-234.
