I recently saw at some CT web site that scientists had used 14C dating to determine the age of triceratops fossils at about 34,000 years.
I've done a little carbon dating in university, and I understand that the upper limit age limit using this technique is about 50,000 years.
I have a question: Is there a legitimate reason to 14C date something presumed to be >65 million years old?
