The point is that carbon was irradiated in situ. Fossil fuels *are* lower
on C-14, though.
However, this is irrelevant for cryonics. Radiation damage doesn't
register even over geological time frames: the tissue is a glass, and has
no metabolism. To really hurt it, you would have to put it nearby a MCi
source of ionizing radiation.
