Suppose you want to date the age of a trilobite fossil you found in the mountains of
Dugway. You collect rocks that surround the fossil (from the same rock layer) and send
them off to be radiometrically dated. If the half life of element X decaying into Y is 125
million years, and there is 1/16 of the original amount of X left in the rock you found.
How old is the rock and therefore the fossil? - ✔✔500 million years
