Samarium–neodymium dating

Samarium–neodymium dating is a radiometric dating method useful for determining the ages of rocks and meteorites, based on the alpha decay of the long-lived samarium isotope (147Sm) to the stable radiogenic neodymium isotope (143Nd). Neodymium isotope ratios together with samarium–neodymium ratios are used to provide information on the age and source of…
