Is it true that radiocarbon dating is reliable for dating dinosaur fossils?
No. Multiple sources state that radiocarbon dating cannot accurately date dinosaur fossils: its range is far too short, and fossil bone cannot yield accurate radiocarbon dates. Dinosaur fossils are instead dated by other methods to millions of years old.
