Title : Attempts at Determining Earth s Age
Since the dawn of civilization, people have been curious about the age of Earth.
In addition, we have not been satisfied in being able to sate merely the relative geologic age of a rock or fossil. Huma n curiosity dema nds that we know actual age in years.
Geologists work ing duri ng the nin etee nth cen tury un derstood rock bodies, they would have to concen trate on n atural processes that continue at a con sta nt rate and that also leave some sort of tan gible record in the rocks. Evoluti on is one such process, and geologist Charles Lyell (1797-1875) recog ni zed this. BY comparing the amount of evolution exhibited by marine mollusks then, Lyell estimated that 80 million years had elapsed since the beginning of the Tertiary Period. He came ast oni shi ngly close to the mark, since it was actually about 65 millio n years. However, for older seque nee of evoluti onary developme nt, estimates based on parts in the fossil record. Rates of evoluti on for many orders of pla nts and ani mals were not well un derstood.
In another attempt, geologists reasoned that if rates of deposition could be
determined for sedimentary rocks, they might be able to estimate the time required for deposition of a given thickness of strata, or rock layers. Similar reasoning suggested that one could estimate total elapsed geologic time by dividing the average thickness of sediment transported annually to the oceans into the total thickness of sedimentary rock that had ever been deposited in the past. Unfortunately, such estimates did not adequately account for past difference in rates of sedimentation or losses to the total section of strata during episodes of erosion. Also, some very ancient sediments were no longer recognizable, having been converted to igneous and metamorphic rocks in the course of mountain
