Since it has 1/8 that means it has gone around though 3 half-life cycles.
To find that we have to know that the half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years, we multiply that by three and we have 16,190 years. That's the age of the fossil.
As it has 1/8 that means it has around though 3 life cycles. As half life of the Carbon 14 is 5,730 year thus multiply it by three and we have 16,190 years.
