New Direct Fossil Dating Technique Promises to Fail
Three geologists have reported what they called the first "successful" direct dating of dinosaur bone. Will this new radioisotope dating (or radiodating) technique solve the problems that plagued older dating methods? If history is anything to go by, then the answer is no.

Can Scientists Now Directly Date Fossils?
A trio of geologists has published what they called the first successful direct dating of dinosaur bone. They used a new laser technique to measure radioisotopes in the bone, yielding an age of millions of years.
But this "age" was not only the result of a broken radioisotope system, it was contrived to agree with previously assigned dates for the samples.
