"Figure 1. Schematic of 14C production and decay in the atmosphere. 14C is produced in the atmosphere by cosmic neutrons colliding with Nitrogen atoms.  The newly formed 14C is oxidized to 14CO₂ where it then enters the biosphere.  Following an organisms death, radioactive decay occurs converting the 14C back to 14N."
