Yuck's precision dates back at least as far as its first EP, "Weakend" (Mirror Universe).
Our high precision dates allow the time of site use to be clearly demonstrated.
The Ar geochronology lab offers the opportunity for high precision dating of K-bearing materials from samples as young as a few thousand years to those as old as the Earth (limited only by geological complexity).
Not only did precision dating show these fossils to be at least 20.6 million years old--5 million years older than had been thought--but they were unexpectedly modern.
This measure has several sources of error: uncertainty due to date precision (dates are often collected as month/year, ignoring days), missing dates (1 for each date, or 4 total), uncertainty associated with retrospective reporting (4 again), and truncation bias (if the most recent four partners are within the 6 month retrospective window).
He and his team will chisel or blast off samples of boulders dropped by the ice for high-precision dating.
"If our high-precision dates continue to pin these three events – the impact, the extinction and the major pulse of volcanism – closer and closer together, people are going to have to accept the likelihood of a connection among them.

High-precision dating of Deccan Traps volcanic units suggests an increase in volcanism associated with the Chicxulub impact.
Initially, all radiocarbon data are used (hereafter Model A) and the model displays high-precision dates (Table 3; Fig. 5; Additional file 3: Figure S3).
