If carbon dating is inaccurate on marine animals how can you trust it for the marine animals in strata such as the Cambrian rock?

Perhaps you can't, but carbon dating is not used on mineralized fossils. The igneous rock above and below the fossil strata is radiometricly dated, Carbon dating is only good on material containing carbon; material less than 40,000 years old.

How far back can you date with carbon dating?
By using carbon 14 dating, scientists can date plants and animals that lived as long as 35,000 years ago.
What is radioisotope carbon dating?
Carbon 14 is the isotope that is used for carbon dating.
What is the antonym of carbon dating?
Either non-carbon dating, if that's what you mean, or nothing. But technically, there is no real antonym of "carbon dating".
Can you use carbon dating on diamonds?
No. Carbon dating only works on organic matter.
Can you give a sentence with carbon dating?
Carbon dating is a method of telling approximately how old an ancient object is. Here are some sentences.The scientists used carbon dating and decided that the mummy was 10,000 years old.Carbon dating is not perfect, but it can give you a rough idea.We studied carbon dating in class today.

Can radiocarbon dating be used to determine the age of pottery?
No. radio carbon dating is only efficient for the fossils of plants or animals. As pottery is an abiotic substance its age cannot be determined by carbon dating
What type of fossil dating uses half life to determine age?
Radiocarbon dating is a technique that uses the decay of carbon-14.
Radiocarbon dating is used to date?
No. radio carbon dating is only efficient for the fossils of plants or animals. As pottery is an abiotic substance its age cannot be determined by carbon dating
What is radioisotope carbon dating?
Carbon 14 is the isotope that is used for carbon dating.
What element found in animals and plants is used by scientists to determine approximate dates for an artifacts age?
Carbon. The process in which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
What element found in all plants and animals determines the approximate age of the artifact?
I believe you are referring to carbon. The process by which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
Are carbon dating and radiocarbon dating the same?
Yes, carbon dating and radiocarbon dating refer to the same method of dating archaeological objects by measuring the decay of the isotope carbon-14.
What is the antonym of carbon dating?
Either non-carbon dating, if that's what you mean, or nothing. But technically, there is no real antonym of "carbon dating".
What kind of dating is Carbon-14 an example of?
Carbon-14 is an example of radioactive dating.
What is another name for carbon dating?
It can be known as 'Radiocarbon dating' or 'Carbo-14 dating'.
Can you use carbon dating on diamonds?
No. Carbon dating only works on organic matter.
