Carbon 14
Its radio active and created by all living carbon-based organisms. The blood would contain this because it is organic, unlike most fossil which are little more than mineral imprints of what once was.
This is a typical dating method.

I'm pretty sure carbon dating doesn't go back nearly 20 million years.

There is really no such thing as a perfect date. Too much anxiety. Too many pathetic attempts to stimulate conversation. Conversation is usually stilted and awkward.
My advice is to have the sex first and then talk afterwards. The sex usually loosens you up a little and allows for more relaxed conversation (not to mention a less stressful dinner).

massive infestation of Black Widow spiders
I feel like the Pest Control Guru this year. We're usually inundated with 'em, but I got diligent in spring, after the rains, and kept up with the "bug granules" and spraying around the house every three or four weeks.
I've only seen ONE this summer! Of course due to the chemicals I've now got five eyes, and maybe I haven't got them triangulated quite right yet...

"So, if half of the carbon 14 has decayed to nitrogen 14"
Now thats an act of alchemy I would love to see!!
Carbon-14 decays to carbon.

Youre right about the limit of the method.
It stands to reason that a finite amount of material cannot decay infinity.
So, the question of how old the spider really is a better question than I originally thought.

If some scientist things it would be great to clone a T-rex, show him the scene from Jurassic Park where the T-rex eats the lawyer sitting on the john. hehehe. And what exactly is wrong with cloning a T-rex that only likes to chomp on lawyers? :)
whether they are sitting on a john or not...

CB has an interesting description — he was the one who first told me about the Gap theory (between Gen 1:1 and 1:2)

The length of each day was established the first day and havent changed but a few seconds since.
Genesis 1: 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
