On October 13, 1988 occurred the "Black Day" in the history of the famous Holy Shroud of Turin. It had been radiocarbon dated between 1260 and 1390. Thus it was proclaimed by a single scientific discipline

and carbon 13. It is possible to test this theory by isotope analysis of the cellulose of the Shroud. The atoms of oxygen and hydrogen in the cellulose must have been transformed into the higher isotopes

1st century burial cloth. In 1988, three laboratories performed a Carbon-14 (C14) dating test on the Shroud with the results placing the putative origin of the cloth between 1260 and 1390 AD. In many

In order to ensure that ample carbon for dating survives after pretreatment, the weight of each cloth sample (that is, shroud and controls) will be 40 mg. All the samples will be given to the laboratories

radiocarbon dating purposes sometime during the next year, with results expected to be released around Easter of 1988. Following the announcement that the testing would take place, The Times published

and discusses his new hypothesis regarding the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the Shroud, based on possible c14 enrichment of linen due to the CO (carbon monoxide) in the atmosphere. According to Jackson,
