Obsidian Hydration Dating
Many obsidians are crowded with microlites and crystallines (gobulites and trichites), and these form fission-track-like etch pits following etching with hydrofluoric acid. The etch pits of the microlites and crystallines are difficult to separate from real fission tracks formed from the spontaneous decay of 238U, and accordingly, calculated ages based on counts including the microlite and crystalline etch pits are not reliable.”

There´s no link to support the assertion you make about ice cores and varves. I presume that´s an oversight, right?

I just love how the evos have to deliberately misread and misrepresent the article in order to attack it.

The article didn’t say that the decay rate of radioactive elements isn’t constant at this present time.

They are saying that it may have changed at one or maybe two different times in the past which would throw off the calculations.

And of course, the evos aren’t even addressing the point of the assumptions of how much parent material existed to begin with.
