What element, found in all plants and animals, is used by scientists to determine approximate dates for an artifact’s age?
1 answer
There are a number that can be used but I suspect you are thinking of carbon since that element is in all plants. If you have the resources for Google, and I suspect you do since you are posting here, go to www.google.com and type in radioactive dating or carbon dating. You will see numerous discussions and some are very complicated but others are put in simple terms.
