The methods that they used to date the rock have a 300million year margin of error, because the radioactive dating methods are not completely accurate but if more tests are preformed and different radioactive isotopes are used to date the rock and the other tests will help to more accurately determine the age. I'm studying to be a geobiology major at the university of washington.
