However if the knife has a handle made of natural organic material (e.g, wood, bone, antler, ivory) this handle can be carbon-14 dated to obtain an estimate of the age of the knife.

Which isotope is used to date ancient such as fossils?
The isotope of carbon is used to date the ancient fossils. Since every living creature had organic matter and carbon is an integral part of that organic matter, it is conventional to use carbon isotope.
Give an example of an isotope used in dating old objects?
cardon-14 by the use of carbon dating which is a process in which they use the half life of carbon to calculate the date of an object
Which method of radiometric dating is used mainly to date the remains of organisms that lived within the last 50000 years?
carbon 14 dating
Can carbon dating be used on a stone to determine it's age?
It is not possible to carbon date rocks. Carbon 14 dating is based on the absorption of atmospheric carbon by livingthings. When the thing dies it no longer takes in carbon from the atmosphere through processes such as eating or respiration and levels of C14 in the body deplete due to the natural process of radioactive decay. By seeing how much C14 remains it is possible to see how long it has been since that animal died.However there are a range of other dating methods which can be used.

What can carbon dating be used to date?
Carbon dating can be used to date organic materials, such as wood, bones, shells, and charcoal. It is particularly useful for determining the age of archaeological artifacts and fossils that are up to about 50,000 years old.

What materials can carbon dating be used to date?
Carbon dating can be used to date organic materials that were once part of a living organism, such as wood, bone, charcoal, and plant remains. It is most commonly used on objects that are less than 50,000 years old.

carbon 14 dating
What radioactive atom is commonly used to date non-living things?
carbon 14-----------------------------------No, NOT Carbon 14, Carbon 14 dating CAN ONLY BE USED is living (or once living) things.The Atoms used for radiometric dating of NON LIVING things are:Potassium/ArgonUranium/Lead
What is the element used for dating?
The element used for dating is carbon
What method is used to estimate the date of something that died long ago?
Carbon-14 dating is the most common
Radiocarbon dating is used to date?
No. radio carbon dating is only efficient for the fossils of plants or animals. As pottery is an abiotic substance its age cannot be determined by carbon dating
