Anything beyond that age requires analyzing isotopes such as beryllium-10, whose 1.4-million-year half-life allows researchers to date samples as far back as 10 million years. The problem ...
Beryllium-10 is a rare radioactive isotope formed when cosmic rays collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. Over time, it falls to Earth, accumulating in ocean sediments.
