Glucose contains six carbon and tris contains four carbons. Therefore the C14 content of the glucose has been diluted by 40%. Take the reported dates and their mean, plug the dates into the radioactive

issues on the Shroud carbon dating that our group raised in close cooperation with the Turin Shroud Center, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Needing special emphasis is that in order to reproduce modern

radiocarbon dating in 1988. This has led to the proposal of various hypotheses to explain this apparent discrepancy. One hypothesis is that the linen sample used in the radiocarbon dating actually came

Furthermore, he considered that the carbón-14 analysis to determine the age of the mantle on 1988, which resulted that the piece dated from a period between 1260 and 1390 presents a series of irregularities

has written of the Shroud carbon dating research by Russian scientist Dr.Dmitri Kouznetsov: 'His [Dr.Kouznetsov's] research is extremely sound and he is not releasing any information or research which

formed, and how the carbon dating result may have been skewed, all rolled into one. The key issue is whether this explanation; any more than the several others advanced since 1988, will truly stand

biological fractionation of carbon isotopes by living plants which leads, in respect of flax, to a significant relative enrichment of textiles by C14 and C13 during the manufacturing of the flax into

Shroud held back at the time of the taking of the carbon dating samples (referenced as R - 'portion apparently retained unused and in Cardinal Saldarini's care' in fig 24, p.189. of The Blood and the

been called to discuss the practicalities of Shroud carbon dating became very abruptly postponed because of heated dissension between Professor Chagas in Rome and Professor Gonella in Turin. In April

The samples used for the "dating" of 1988 were cut from immediately above the Raes sample. It is very unfortunate that the 14C samples were not better characterized, because the evidence shows that
