In the last few years improvements in technology have allowed geologists to date single grains of some minerals in rocks. A geologist separates 5 grains of the mineral zircon, which can be dated by the Uranium-lead method, and the crystal retains parent and daughter through weathering, erosion, and deposition. Thus, dating each mineral grain only gives the age of the source rock that was eroded, to produce that sand, from which the zircon grain is derived. The 5 grains yield ages of 160, 110, 2020, 66, and 162 million years. What do these ages tell you about the age of the sedimentary strata
