Such a situation can be utilized in two different ways as a dating tool, called, respectively, the ‘daughter-excess’ and ‘daughter-deficiency’ dating methods.

Over time, the excess or ‘unsupported’ daughter decays back until secular equilibrium with its parent is restored. , 210Pb dating; see ‘210Pb and Multi-isotope Sediment Dating’). In the daughter-deficiency method, chemical fractionation during the formation of a deposit causes it to take up a radioactive parent but effectively none of its daughter.
