Summary

Abstract: Virtual Dating models the theory and processes whereby ages of older rocks (> 100 million years) are determined from the Isochron method applied to Rb/Sr isotopic compositions. This activity also includes a C-14 option for once-living materials that are less than 50,000 years old. A "demo" version for instructors is also on-line.
