Research in Tallahassee cautions that carbon-14 dating in the 40,000-
year age range is often suspect, because the samples might include
"dead carbon," or carbon not originally from living organisms.
Michael:
"Dead" carbon may well be originally from living organisms;
the most common contaminants are coal and black shale,
and pre-Quaternary (i.e., infinite-aged, or "dead") pollen
winnowed out from poorly-cemented stone has also been
identified as a source of excess-aging error.
