Answer

Brief Explanations:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments can provide an estimate of the age of the solar - system and Earth. Meteorites are thought to have formed at the same time as Earth. Fossil - dating methods (carbon dating, isotopic dating of fossils, absolute dating of fossils) are mainly used to date the age of organisms and geological periods where they are found, not the age of Earth itself.

Answer:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments
