I believe that many of the isochron methods can deal with initial daughter products. While the slope of the isochron determines the age, the intercept determines the daughter product.

Bill Payne: <<One question I've posed elsewhere and didn't feel was answered, except by slamming a certain YEC, is: How do we know that daughter products are not included in the magma when it is extruded? I know that evolutionists say that xenoliths (fragments of older "country" rock) can
be identified and eliminated, but if the xenoliths are completely melted then the individual molecules of the older daughter products would become part of the magma and should give the magma an apparent age that is false. If that's not your question, I would still like to know the answer to this one.>>
