Even the staunchest advocates of carbon dating admit that it gives errors for material that is younger than 150 years or older than 50,000 years.  The errors for material younger than 150 years is ascribed to changes in the ratio of C-14 to C-12 in the atmosphere.<ref>http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD011.html</ref>  The errors for material older than 50,000 years is ascribed to statistical uncertainties inherent in the loss of multiple half-lives.

Additional anomalous results from carbon dating, which reinforce its limitations, include:<ref>http://www.creationwiki.org/Carbon_dating</ref>

  −
*coal, natural gas, and carbonate rocks have yielded dates based on carbon dating between 30,000 and 60,000 years old;
  −
  −
*some unfossilized dinosaur bones have yielded dates between 10,000 and 50,000 years old; and

  −
*CO2 from gas wells have yielded dates less than 30,000 years old.
