An insect is discovered suspended
in amber. A specimen is drawn
from the insect, converted to
graphite, and then loaded into an
AMS instrument. The AMS detects
2.5174 x 10-¹2 g of carbon-14.
If this insect suspended in amber is
4,500 years old, how much carbon-
12 would be detected by the AMS?
The estimated age of a preserved insect
can be verified using carbon dating.
A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 55 percent of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees.How long ago, to the nearest year, was the artifact made? (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.)
