The variation in the 14C/12C ratio in different parts of the carbon exchange reservoir means that a straightforward calculation of the age of a sample based on the amount of 14C it contains will often give an incorrect result. There are several other possible sources of error that need to be considered. The errors are of four general types: Variations in the 14C/12C ratio in the atmosphere, both geographically and over time
Isotopic fractionation
