Yes, I think it is C14 is the right answer.

U-Pb is the absolutely correct answer. It can tell the age of things formed about 1 million to 4.5 billion years ago.

What is uranium-lead method?

Rudaba sheikh said:   8 years ago
What about uranium-lead dating & potassium-argon & radium-silicon dating?

Arun said:   8 years ago
According to me c14 is correct.

Snehansh sinha said:   8 years ago
Yes, the answer should be C14. I agree.

D Basava said:   9 years ago
According to me, the answer is c14.

The method most suitable for calculating oldest geological formations are U-Pb and Rb-Sr method not C14 as it is used for dating the recent events because of its small half life.

Sandeep said:   1 decade ago
The method which is used for calculating oldest fossils is Uranium lead method. Not carbon-14 dating because it has a limitation of calculating only up to 58000 years old fossils.

This is wrong. C14 meathos is used for the recent rocks of geological scale.
