Moon Rocks, Dinosaur Fossils, Meteorites etc.

Well carbon dating certainly won't be any good then. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere and rock aren't organic. In the fossilisation process, the organic material is replaced with mineral deposits, so carbon dating is ruled out for that too.

I'm led to believe that other, applicable methods of radiometric have already been used to determine the age of such samples
