I have a fair understanding of radioactivity and a general grasp of molecular dating, but I was curious as to how radiocarbon in fossil fuels has survived millions of years despite its half life being only 5,750ish years. From what I've seen through minimal research is that most of the C14 in a sample is decayed by 50,000 years. Any information on the topic would be appreciated.
