Correction; both are wrong. Advancing technology has allowed
radiocarbon dating to become accurate to within just a few
decades in many cases. Carbon dating is a brilliant way for
archaeologists to take advantage of the natural ways that

atoms decay. The half-life of C-14 is 5,370 years, and
therefore reliable out to about 50,000 years, after which
there would not be sufficient C-14 to measure accurately.
Thus, while that time limit makes it useful for archaeology,
it is generally not used in Paleontology.

There are other radiometric dating methods that do not use C-
14. However, science now has many other dating methods.
