Answer:

It uses fossils to help pinpoint the ages of rocks.

Explanation:

Radiocarbon  dating can not be used  to determine the age of rocks.

Carbon dating works well only for objects that are less than 50,000 years.  Most rocks are far older than that. Over time, carbon-14 decays gradually  into nitrogen. Hence, we can not really use radiocarbon dating to determine the absolute age of a rock sample since the carbon-14 in the fossils of ancient rock samples may have completely decayed.
