Rubidium–strontium dating
text:
The rubidium–strontium dating method (Rb–Sr) is a radiometric dating technique, used by scientists to determine the age of rocks and minerals from their content of specific isotopes of rubidium (⁸⁷Rb) and strontium. One of the two naturally occurring isotopes of rubidium, ⁸⁷Rb, decays to ⁸⁷Sr with a half-life of 49.23 billion years. The radiogenic daughter, ⁸⁷Sr, produced in this decay process is the only one of the four naturally occurring strontium isotopes that was not produced exclusively by
