radiometric dating - general approach used to determine the age of specimens using the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes radiocarbon dating - a chemical analysis used to determine the age of organic materials based on their content of the radioisotope carbon-14 potassium-40 dating - radiometric dating method often used in the assessment of volcanic intrusions in sedimentary layers. It is based on measurement of the product of the radioactive decay of an isotope of potassium (K) into ar...

How does the fossil record reveal information about evolutionary changes? - Species change over time, and all organisms descended from a single common ancestor. What features make Tiktaalik a transitional fossil, and role do these types of fossils have in the fossil record? - Tiktaalik splits the difference of what you think of as a fish and a limbed animal. These fossils show how organisms evolved from water to land. What can anatomy and DNA reveal about evolution? - DNA shows the amount o...
