Populärvetenskaplig sammanfttning: När man vill bestämma åldern på en bergart finns det flera olika metoder. En av de senaste och mest sofistikerade metoderna är den så kallade 40Ar/39Ar-metoden. En bergart är uppbyggd av flera olika mineral. Nästan alla mineral innehåller kalium (K+) i olika stora mängder. Kalium (K+) sönderfaller radioaktivt till argon (Ar) som är en ädelgas. Vid 40Ar/39Ar-dater
