No. On account of fossils being made of rock, which is not Carbon.

Wouldn't matter.

the carcass died at a volcanic area
Wouldn't matter.

the carcass died when there was NO atmosphere
The Earth has had atmosphere for more or less its entire existence.
quote:
the carcass died with less carbon at the time than usually should
C-14 dating deals with proportion, not amount, so no matter.
quote:
the carcass died with a disease
How the hell could a disease affect radioactive decay?
quote:
the carcass died during magnetism shift
How the hell would a magnetism affect radioactive decay?

also sinse radioactive dating method required radioactivity in the body, what makes you think that date was not altered due to the industrial era? or even worse, during nuclear warfare in Hiroshima? or anywhere for that matter.
Ah, you don't know what radiometric dating is. It's not based on the amount of radioactivity. That's not to say that it wouldn't have an effect. It's just that the effect would be very, very obvious.
