Scientific paper

The use of radioactive dating techniques in search for clues about the earliest stages of terrestrial history is discussed. Particular attention is given to the uranium-lead method, zircon dating, development of the Super High-Resolution Ion Micro-Probe, measurements of rock's internal magnetism, the potassium-argon dating technique, and laser argon-argon dating. Results of recent research using these dating methods are summarized, with attention given to the dating of Agasta gneiss and tectonic drift studies.
