Answer: Only works for organisms that died 60,000 years ago

Explanation: Carbon dating is very accurate (within a decade, and often within a few years) for samples dating back to about 15,000 years ago, decreasingly accurate thereafter back to 45,000 to 60,000 years ago, and completely unusable after that. Carbon dating is also unusable for dating samples from after 1945.
