Description

Given current technology, radiocarbon dating is typically limited to 50,000 years, though sometimes that can be extended to 100,000 years. Beyond that, radiocarbon levels have dropped so low that they are not measurable. Older organic samples (i.e. fossils) require dating using other radioactive atoms.
