Re: Dinosaurs dated at thousands, not millions of years old


Care to name this dating technique?

The dating techniques I'm aware of use U238 or U234, not U235, and none of them is terribly suitable for the purpose you mentioned. [This should not be meant to imply that there are no such dating techniques available, as I'm hardly an expert here.] Dating rocks, sure. Dating bones? Not likely. The best one I can find, uranium-thorium dating, measures the proportion of uranium-234 to thorium-230 and works well with corals (due to the property of uranium being relatively water soluble but thorium being insoluble in water) but not with land-walking bones.
