La méthode dite rubidium-strontium. Le rubidium 87 se désintègre en strontium 87 avec une période de 6.1010 années. Elle est donc excellente pour les âges très anciens (vers 10[exposant 81) années). Le rubidium est courant en très faible quantité dans les feldspaths où il occupe la place du potassium. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20rubidium%2Dstrontium
