Uranium - Lead method:
Knowledge of the rate of decay of certain radioactive isotopes helps to determine the age of various rock deposits Geological rocks have Uranium 256 which decays to uranium 238 and lead 206 ultimately.

@All.
C-14 dating is used for young, organic materials (up to ~50, 000–60, 000 years old), while U-Pb dating is used for inorganic, geological materials (millions to billions of years old). Loud & clear now.
