This ancient shark is actually older than the United States of America itself.

In 2016, researchers used radiocarbon dating to estimate the ages of 28 Greenland sharks in the North Atlantic. By analyzing the levels of carbon-14 in the sharks' eye lenses, which are formed before

In 2016, a study based on 28 Greenland sharks determined by radiocarbon dating of crystals within the lens of their eyes, that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for 392±120 years and was consequently born between 1504 and 1744

Ljubljana Marshes Wheel
was found in Ljubljana Marshes, Slovenia.

Its radiocarbon dating showed that it is approximately 5150 years old, making it the oldest wooden wheel yet discovered.

The wooden wheel belonged to a prehistoric two-wheel cart – a pushcart. It has a diameter

David Reich says genetics will have more of an impact on archaeology than radiocarbon dating, akin to the light microscope in revolutionary power. Some responses call it 'irritating' and 'molecular chauvinism'.

'In a manuscript radiocarbon-dated to the 5th or 6th century AD we discovered early portions of the poet Aratus, the earliest texts of the mathematician Eratosthenes, some astronomical diagrams and parts of the legendary lost star catalogue of Hipparchus.'

The Birmingham Quran manuscript, dated between 568 and 645 AD by radiocarbon analysis, has raised several scientific concerns and accuracy issues that make many Muslim apologetic claims controversial and suspect: 1. The radiocarbon dating only determines the age of the parchment

Research from the journal Nature has named the exact year of the presence of the Vikings in North America Tree rings were identified on three wooden objects and their characteristic trace of a spike in radiocarbon levels was compared.

We found this intact moth frozen in place in still-green grass in a permafrost tunnel in Siberia. We just got a radiocarbon date back on the grass it was found in. Any guesses as to how old it is?

This is the groundbreaking study on aging Greenland sharks through radiocarbon dating of their eye proteins, revealing lifespans of 275+ to 500+ years. Those proteins do not degrade with age, and radiocarbon gives you a range. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The Theopetra Cave is an archaeological site located in Meteora, in the central Greek region of Thessaly, Greece.
Radiocarbon evidence shows for human presence at least 50,000 years ago.

Excavations began in 1987 under the direction of Ν. Kyparissi-Apostolika, which were meant
