It is now documented that we can find original biomolecules that go back to the Cambrian. One can ask the question, "How long can chitin last?" In addition, a radiocarbon date has been done on this material and published in the "peer-reviewed" literature.  The answer is expected by creationists and the anomaly is ignored by believers in long ages.
