It results in the day numbers in one year being fewer and fewer, which is recorded clearly by the growth lines on the fossils. Correspondingly, the day-long (hours in one day) had been becoming shorter and shorter during the geohistory. To make up a function relation among three variables, namely, the earth’s age, the stratigraphic chronology and the day-long, we can calculate the age of fossil-bearing strata by the data of day-long indicated by the fossil’s growth lines. The paper introduces, briefly, the theoretical thoughts and calculating formulas of the “growth line-day-long dating method” presented by the paper. Some Proterozoic and Cenozoic examples worked by the predecessors are re-dated by the new method, and the comparative study between the both demonstrates that the new method could act as a verification and supplement for the isotopic dating method.
