We can determine the age of most Mesozoic rocks through "carbon dating," which relies on the radioactive decay of Carbon-14.

true or false?

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Carbon dating using the radioactive decay of Carbon-14 is reliable up to 50,000 years. It is mostly used for living organisms that were younger than that period. Rocks are much older than 50,000 years and rocks from the Mesozoic era would not be able to be dated using Carbon-14. It will require another element with longer half-lives in order to determine ages higher than 65 million years ago.
