Inability to date carbonate rocks -- false?
If you review that posting, it's sourced from someone's comment - not really good science. I think someone needs to volunteer to research the original Faure text on geochemistry

== Inability to date carbonate rocks -- false? ==
"Additional anomalous results from carbon dating, which reinforce its limitations, include the inability to date carbonate rocks, which by confound the science behind the dating technique."
I don't want to remove the statement, in case someone has another reference, but in [http://www.arrhenius.ucsd.edu/pub/Precambrian.pdf This report] (watch out -- it's HUGE) clearly shows a carbon-dating experiment performed on carbonate materials. "We determined the carbon isotope ratio of carbonates on ground powders... by reacting them with concentrated H3PO4... and collecting the evolved CO2.... The evolved and frozen CO2 [was]... transferred to an Isogas precision isotope ratio mass spectrometer (PRISM) for isotopic determination. Error bars of measurements are 0.1‰" (page 336). Am I missing somehthing, or can I remove the statement? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 21:07, 5 January 2008 (EST)
