All problems (Earth Science Dinosaurs)
You find some dinosaur fossils in rocks that overlie (are found on top of) an ash bed and that are cut by a volcanic dike. Using radiometric dating, geologists determine the age of the ash bed to be 120 million years (Ma) and the dike to be 100 Ma. What can you say about the age of the dinosaur fossils? Select one: O a. Their age is probably halfway between the age of the ash...
