Rhenium–osmium dating

ID: rhenium-osmium-dating

Rhenium–osmium (Re-Os) dating is a radiometric dating technique used to determine the age of geological samples based on the decay of the radioactive isotopes of rhenium (Re) and osmium (Os). This method is particularly useful for dating certain types of rocks and minerals, especially those that are rich in metal ores or organic materials.
