Quote:The ones that go noticeably under that are K-Ar readings, which aren't accurate because they record the last heating and impact event of the rocks- taken from a body that takes regular meteorite hits- rather than the actual age of the rock.you gave a link, but you didn't show what you claim. Here's what your link says:
As I showed, in my link to you before.
Because of the severe impact history of the early Moon and the consequent heating and metamorphism of lunar samples, the conventional K-Ar method is not particularly useful in the study of lunar rock formation because it tends to date the latest heating and impact events rather than original rock ages.
It doesn't say regular meteor hits, it says the impacts occurred to "the early moon," which would not cause argon dating to be much more recent than other methods.
