Lignite was formed during the Miocene period 16 million years ago and therefore does not show 14C activity (Rumpel et al., 2000b). The relative 14C activity, which in the case of a mixture of lignite and recent organic matter derived from plant material equals the recent carbon contribution, is referenced to a...
