However, tests of radiometric dating methods have often shown that they do ''not'' agree with known ages of rocks that have been seen to form from volcanic eruptions in recent and historic times, while there are a few examples of radiometric dating methods not agreeing with each other, the vast majority of dating results are accurate within the margin of error for that method.
