If something is sandwhiched between two undisturbed layers why would you think that it's date isn't between the dates of those layers?
​
undisturbed is the key here. i've heard of various strata being picked up and flipped over in a small local area before. so you get strata that go, from bottom to top: oldest, old, older, new. but then that leaves behind sings that it's been disturbed.
​
Even without knowing what Australian C-14 date you are refering to I don't see how that has anything at all to do with the sandwich question.
​
i'm not totally sure what c14 has to do with rocks anyways. c14 is for organic material. fossils are inorganic.

capitals
Must... have... capital... letters... at... sentence... beginnings... or... get... nauseous... when... reading... them.
​
did you know that originally one either wrote in diminutive or in capital? they were two separate greco-latin fonts. capital tended to be strictly used on stone monuments (because it was easier to carve) and diminutive tended to be used on written documents (because it was easier to write). the romans were really the first to use capitals on other kinds of signage that we know about. you can see them painted on the walls of pompei. but to my knowledge they never mixed the two. i think it was early germanic scholars who did that.
