How exactly did Patterson determine the parameters in his Pb–Pb geochron equations?
Wildlife & BiologyGetting Started Geochronology plays a critical role in understanding the age of Earth’s geologic events and processes. One of the pioneering contributions to the field was made by Clair Cameron Patterson, an American geochemist best known for his work in determining the age of the Earth using lead-lead (Pb-Pb) dating. Patterson’s Pb-Pb geochron equations were
