- Geometric Chronology
- Finally, the external clock is kept strictly separate — the relative order built from geometry is converted to absolute ages only by hanging it on a crater-density-versus-age calibration anchored to radiometrically dated returned samples.
This sourceCrater-density-versus-age calibration anchored to radiometrically dated returned Apollo/Luna samples converts relative crater order into absolute ages, reconstructing ~4 Gyr of bombardment history.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract states the Moon is a calibration plate for the cratering record and has datable samples tied to geomorphologic units, but not the claim's strict-separation or 'only' clauses.
“The Moon has become a calibration plate for the cratering record of the Earth-Moon system, and by extrapolation, of the entire inner solar system...”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
