68 million-year-old huh? How can that be when their process of telling the age of something is so acurate that tested on a live elephant to be 3000 years old?

The tests are coarse-grained. Depending on the quality and amount of the sample and how much time is spent on testing, the results are accurate to within anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Perhaps not meaningful for evaluating recent history, but invaluable for reconstructing time lines and lineages spanning eons.

Living things, and once living things, up to an age of about 50,000 years, are dated by radiocarbon dating.
Do you have a citation for the radiocarbon date of 3,000 years for a living elephant?
