 | | Unless the production of carbon 14 was equally greater in the past (either via markedly increased nitrogen 14 and/or radiation), such a huge increase in carbon 12 would dramatically lower the ratio of |
 | | When Carbon 14 emits a beta particle, the Carbon 14 atom becomes a Nitrogen 14 Atom. |
 | | Of course, despite the great care taken to avoid contamination, significant levels of carbon 14, when found in fossils supposed to be millions of years old, are still attributed to contamination, background noise, or even production of carbon 14 by the radioactive decay of other closely associated radioactive elements. |
