Radiometric Dating vs. Relative Dating |
Radiometric dating is measuring the number of radioactive isotopes left in the dead organism. Using the "half life", or the amount of time for one half of the radioactive atoms to die, one can determine how old the organism is. Relative dating is determining where the remain is in a rock layer. If it is towards the bottom it is therefore older than anything above it, and vice versa. |
