Carbon-14 dating is used to date dinosaur fossils.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Carbon-14 dating is used to date dinosaur fossils?

No. Multiple sources indicate radiocarbon dating is limited to roughly 50,000–60,000 years, far shorter than the millions of years dinosaur fossils are dated to. A peer-reviewed article specifically on radiocarbon in dinosaur bones states such bone cannot yield an accurate radiocarbon date.
