In Aliens & Dinosaurs, Rocky Evidence… …The most widely used scientific method to determine the age of fossils is by a process known as carbon dating – a technique that measures the rate of decay and radioactivity in an organic object. “Carbon-14, it’s not a stable isotope, so it decays over time, whereas the C-12, carbon-12, does not decay, so by measuring the two against each other, we’re able to get very general age.” – Ben Firmstrom (Cartographer / Explorer) [1]
