Carbon 14 dating is the best known example of radiometric dating, but there are many others. Another example of radiometric dating is the dating of the age of geological formations on earth. The oldest known rocks on the earth that have been analyzed, have been dated back some 4.404 billion years.
False
Things that don't contain carbon (such as many types of rock) can't be carbon dated. Also anything which is too old (such as several hundred thousand years or more) can't be carbon dated because the carbon 14 will have decayed away to undetectable levels.

In radiocarbon dating, the carbon-14 levels in the object being dated are compared with _____.
One example of radiometric dating is using carbon-14 to determine the age of organic materials, such as fossils or archaeological artifacts. Carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay at a known rate, allowing scientists to measure the amount of carbon-14 remaining in a sample to calculate its age.
In radiocarbon dating, the carbon-14 levels in the object being dated are compared with _____.
Nothing. Something must contain carbon to be carbon dated. By definition fossils are mineralized and contain no carbon.
No, only artifacts that were once part of living things can be carbon dated. Thus a piece of carved ivory can be carbon dated, but a stone arrowhead cannot.
yes, it can.
Yes, it can be dated using carbon data. There are many ways to date a mummy. Where it is found, the symbols and writings on the tomb, the items found with the mummy.
