Did Earth lose its solar shield? Researchers find 10-million-year beryllium surge in sedimentsmetal-rich layers. The age of these crusts can be determined by radiometric dating using beryllium-10, which serves as a natural stopwatch due to its steady decay rate. The research team hopes the ...
The Pacific seafloor laid down around 10 million years ago is dramatically enriched in beryllium-10, compared to older and younger layers. The geologists who discovered this spike propose it could ...
Our study of rock samples from the floor of the Pacific Ocean has found a strange increase in the radioactive isotope beryllium-10 during that time. This finding, now published in Nature ...
