Fission track dating is a radiometric dating technique used to determine the age of geological materials, particularly minerals such as zircon, apatite, and mica. The method is based on the natural occurrence of fission tracks, which are microscopic damage trails produced in crystalline materials when uranium-238 (U-238) nuclei undergo spontaneous fission.
