Uranium–uranium dating
ID: uranium-uranium-dating
Uranium–uranium dating is a geochronological technique used to determine the age of materials, particularly rocks and minerals, by measuring the ratio of uranium isotopes present within them. This method is based on the radioactive decay of uranium isotopes, primarily uranium-238 (U-238) and uranium-235 (U-235), into stable lead isotopes over time.
