Relative Age• Law of Superposition:
younger on older• Law of cross-cutting
relationships• Law of Original Horizontality• Law of Faunal Succession

Geologic Time scale Eras• Cenozoic - “recent life”
– age of Mammals <66 mya
• Mesozoic - “middle life”– age of Dinosaurs 245-66 mya
• Paleozoic - “ancient life”– Age of Trilobites 570-245 mya
• Precambrian – Proterzoic & Archean

Absolute Age
• Involves ‘decay’ of atoms
• A constant process that occurs with atoms

A loss of 2 protons & 2 neutrons
Converting a neutron to a proton

Absolute Age
• Clock starts when Parent atoms are “trapped” in rock at time of crystallization.
• Therefore must be Igneous rock.• Volcanic rocks cool quickly thus are best. • With time Daughter atoms form and are
trapped. • We count number of Parent atoms and
Daughter atoms.

Age of Earth• Oldest ocean crust 3.8 x 109 or 3.8 billion
years old (Greenland)– Indicates plate tectonics at work
• Oldest Rocks: 4.28 x 109 years or 4.28 billion years old (Canada)– Indicates stable crust exists
• Oldest Mineral: 4.4 x 109 years or 4.4 billion years old (Australia)– Indicates oldest date of rocks
• Meteorites (and Earth) 4.56 x 109 years or 4.56 billion years
