well one advantage the uranium-238 has over carbon-14 is that when a meteorologist finds uranium-238 on a rock, the researcher knows the rock is probably as old as our solar system or even older but most often for example, geologist look for the amount of carbon-14 in ancient artifacts and fossils to estimate the true age of their existence. Other elements especially those that have higher half-life than carbon-14 are also used because carbon just simply can’t last before it converts into nitrogen and it’d be impossible for geologists to figure out the age old ancient behemoth creature that roamed the surface of earth hundreds of millions of years ago.

That sounds good, I just have that Carbon-14 has the shorter half-life and so can measure objects that are thousands of years old, while uranium-238 can measure objects that are millions of years old. Your specifics are better - I'd keep them.
