什么是 Bracketing age?

Definition 25.14 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 25 章 — Radiometric Dating Methods

A bracketing age is a limit placed on the age of a sedimentary level by dated rocks related to it by the principles of stratigraphy: a maximum age from a dated layer below it, or from the youngest detrital grain in it; a minimum age from a dated layer above it, or from an intrusion that cuts it. A level between a maximum and a minimum is bracketed.

Ages that bracket a level in a sedimentary sequence (schematic). The ash bed below and the youngest detrital zircon in the sandstone give maximum ages; the lava flow above and the dyke that cuts the whole sequence give minimum ages. The level is younger than t_1 and older than t_2; the dyke adds only that it is older than t_3.
