Radiometric dating is a complex method for dating the rocks of the earth. There are only a few types of rock that can be dated, and potential problems that need to be avoided to give an accurate date for the rock sample.

Smoking Gun for the Permian Extinction?
New geological evidence now supports the theory that a very large (possibly 60 km in size) asteroid collided with the earth at the end of the Permian period. This impact was probably the leading cause for the extinction of nearly all life on earth at the end of the Permian.

Understanding Time and Rock Units in Geology
Geologists use three different units to help in their study of the history of the earth. Time units represent the continuous flow of time through geologic history, rock units represent the different lithologies found across the globe, and time-rock units represent all the rocks formed worldwide during a specific period of geologic time. This week we will examine these units and how they relate to each other.

Its brain was the size and shape of a banana, but it had arrow-tipped teeth, a bottomless-pit appetite for meat, powerful jaws and eight tons of driving weight behind it.
