Description:
Arthur Holmes (January 14 1890 - September 20 1965) was a British geologist. As a child he lived in Low Fell, Gateshead. He performed the first uranium-lead radiometric dating specifically designed to measure the age of a rock during his undergraduate studies. His result was 370 Ma for a Devonian rock from Norway. He graduated in 1910, and the result was published 1911, after he already travelled to Mozambique for six months to prospect for minerals. Wikipedia
