large number of organisms got married due to disasters like flood earthquake volcano etc. remanent and Impressions of such organism remains preserved underground .
these are called as fossils.
carbon consumption of animals and plants stops after the death and since then only the decaying process of C-14 occurs continuously.
In case of dead bodies of plants and animals instead of remaining constant the ratio between C14 and C12 changes continuously as C12 is non Radioactive.
the time passed since the death of the plant or animal can be calculated by measuring the radio activity of C14 and the ratio of C14 to C12 present in their body.
this is called "carbon dating method".
it is used in paleontology and anthropology for determining the age of human fossils and manuscripts.
The method was developed by "Williard Libby"

It wasn't until well into the 20th century that enough information had accumulated about the rate of radioactive decay that the age of rocks and fossils in number of years could be determined through radiometric age dating.
