The carbon-14 in a living organism is constant until the


Anthropologists can approximate the age of a bone or other sample of organic matter by its carbon-14 content. The carbon-14 in a living organism is constant until the organism dies after which carbon-14 decays with first-order kinetics as well as a half-life of 5730 years. Presume a bone from an ancient human contains 17.0% of the C-14 found in living organisms.
