Not all materials can be radiocarbon dated. Most, if not all, organic compounds can be dated. Some inorganic matter, like a shell's aragonite fraction, can also be dated for as long as their formation involved assimilation of carbon 14 in equilibrium with the atmosphere.
Radiocarbon dating does not provide useful information on materials with no carbon 14 like coal.
