How Fossils are calculated | Age of Fossils

Explore the incredible world of ancient fossils and uncover the secrets behind how they are dated. Learn how archaeologists use relative and absolute dating methods to determine the age of fossils ranging from just a few years old to billions of years old.

Explained in a simple and beautiful manner ❤

Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Good video. Need to check out that Argon dating process.

[FehmeedaHussain-wt]

Amazing explaination .Love from Pakisan

I don’t get the 2nd method. You stated that we have an exact number for how long certain elements take to decay (like Carbon in your example), but isn’t it known that decay depends on the environments (like whether it’s dry or humid)? This can determine whether bones decay over a few years vs over thousands of years according to google. Please explain.

Good vedio


Explain about human evolution... In detail

[anukumar]

Thanks for your excellent explaination

I have a huge problem with relative dating and argon potassium dating. Just because the rock/dirtv s next to the fossil, does not make them the same age. It only means they were deposited in that spot at the same time. The rock was likely formed much earlier

What are the importance of archaeology

[deepasudhakar]

Awesome explanation, thank you so much 🙏🙏

[nizamuddin]

Tell me process of detecting age of fossils is there any chemicals use in them

[ProfessorGunk]

Aren't bones just rock now tho? Because of the permineralization

[ElizabethWhiteside-dbjt]

Um... neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are outside the nucleus. The visualization of carbon's isotopes makes it look like the neutrons are outside...

[benjaminzamora]

How can you compare the age of a sedimentary rock with the age of a mineralized bone thats no sense

[pingpongvillageboy]

Archaeologists don't do it, palaeontologists and geologists do it.

[homedrive]

It wrong that stone could have been much older than the bone there the bone and stone will not be of same age this theory is wrong.

[FaithASMR]

Damn we were tricked since kids. Shame . I used to love fossils and actually believe in their age. It’s a shame its guessed and not fully proven to be that old. It’s all starting to make sense now

[Mr.Batman....]

5:55 (I'm just curious not judging guys) How you can estimate a bone's age by estimating the age of rock besides it, that rock doesn't belong to the bone sir, and even you suggesting that the particles of rock or bone got under the influence of rock molecules or particals, the outcome or estimation still come for a rock not a bone.🦴

Atomic decay doesnt take 5730 years, thats how long until carbon decays by half.

[uhmmmmm]

How do they know it takes 5000 years to for carbon turns into nitrogen?? Did anyone kept a record for 5000 years 🤔?
