More precise methods, which were used recently and led to the revision of the evolutionary periods for different groups of organisms, includesA. study of carbohydrates/proteins in fossilsB. study of the conditions of fossilisationC. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and fossil DNAD. study of carbohydrates/proteins in rocks

1.	Age of fossils in the past was generally determined by radiocarbon method and other methods involving radioactive elements found in the rocks. More precise methods, which were used recently and led to the revision of the evolutionary periods for different groups of organisms, includesA. study of carbohydrates/proteins in fossilsB. study of the conditions of fossilisationC. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and fossil DNAD. study of carbohydrates/proteins in rocks
Answer» Correct Answer - C Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) measures number of charges occupying deep traps m crystal band gap. The basic principle of ESR is same as those for luminescence, i.e. electrons become trapped and stored as a result of ionising radiations e.g. dating of tooth enamel
