The statement "this rock is fifteen million years old" is an example of a chronometric or absolute dating method. In this context, the age is provided as a specific, measurable value (fifteen million years), suggesting that a scientific method, such as radiometric dating, has been used to estimate the rock's age based on the decay of radioactive isotopes.
