U-Pb地质年代学起源于十年的发现。在1896年发现放射性后的大约十年内，关于物质性质的旧观念被推翻，地质年代学的种子被播下。在欧内斯特·卢瑟福这样的物理学巨人转向其他研究之后，亚瑟·霍姆斯培育了地质年代学这一新领域，将物理学、化学和地质学结合起来，产生了最早的定量地质时标。在随后的几十年里，地质年代学经历了一系列革命性和进化性的进展，并成为地质学几乎所有领域的重要组成部分。
U–Pb geochronology has its roots in a spectacular decade of discovery. Within about ten years of the discovery of radioactivity in 1896, old ideas about the nature of matter were overthrown and the seeds of geochronology were planted. After giants of physics like Ernest Rutherford moved on to other research, Arthur Holmes nurtured the new field of geochronology, combining physics, chemistry, and geology to produce the earliest quantitative geologic timescale. Over the following decades, geochronology experienced a series of revolutionary and evolutionary advances, and became a vital part of almost all fields of geology.
