Uranium-Thorium Dating, also called thorium -230 dating is the radiometric dating technique commonly used to determine the age of calcium carbonate materials such as speleothen or corol.
Unlike other commonly used radoemetric dating technique such as Rubidium-Strontium or Uranium –Lead dating ,the Uranium-Thorium technique does not measure accumulation of a stable end –member decay product,instead calculating an age from the degree to which equilibrium has been restore between the radioactive isotope thorium -230 and its radioactive parent uranium-234 within a sample
