Any method of measuring the age of an event or object in years.

What is the definition of LAW OF SUPERPOSITION?
A method of determining the absolute age of an object by comparing the amount of parent isotope vs. daughter isotope and using half-life.
Fossils that are used to estimate the absolute age of the rock layers in which they are found. These organisms must have lived during a short time span, have unique features, and be common over large areas.
Younger rocks lie above older rocks, if layers are left undisturbed.
Faults or intrusions are younger than any layer of rock they cut through.
