Radiometric dating technique was first invented by Bertram in 1907. Boltwood. It is often called radioactive dating.It is a technique used to date materials such as rocks or carbon, based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.
The technique is now the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks, age of the Earth, fossils, archaeological materials, including ancient artifacts and to date natural and man-made materials.
Radiocarbon dating, Potassium-Argon dating and Uranium-Lead dating are among the best-known techniques of Radiometric dating.
