Uranium-238 decays to kind lead-206 with a half-life of four.47 billion years. Uranium-235 decays to kind lead-207 with a half-life of 704 million years. Potassium-40 decays pernals.com log in to argon-40 with a half-life of 1.26 billion years. Therefore any argon that is found in a crystal probably shaped because of the decay of potassium-40. Measuring the ratio of potassium-40 to argon-40 will yield a great estimate of the age of the pattern.
