→Inability to date carbonate rocks -- false?: does nobody object?
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)

:Ok nobody is responding still, so I'll give 24 hours then remove the statement. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 11:43, 26 January 2008 (EST)
