It should be emphasized that linking sites together is essential if the nature of an ancient society is anc be understood, as the information at a single location may be relatively insignificant by itself. Each parent nuclide spontaneously decays into a daughter nuclide the via an or a. Radiometric clocks are "set" when each rock forms. Periods of associated with major collisions cannot be directly dated if no new minerals have formed. In the ideal case, the geologist will discover a single rock unit with a unique collection of easily observed wvents called a marker horizon that can be found at widely spaced localities.

Through geologic time, the polarity of the Earth's magnetic field has switched, causing dating of rocks and geologic events in polarity.
