The core and rock samples used to detect previous pole shifts did not rely on Carbon-14 dating, as inorganic materials cannot be dated that way...only organic materials (trees, bones, etc.) can be C-14 dated. The geologists who detected the pole shifts did so based on the directions that ferrous (iron, ergo magnetic) were pointing in situ when they were discovered. The ferrous samples pointed in different directions other than magnetic N-S at the time they were discovered.
Yes, this is how they determined there was a pole shift. The strata that the shifted ferrous samples were taken from were used to locate organic matter in the same approximate strata at a site that had organic matter in it. This is where they tested Carbon-14 for dating. Without any organic matter, they would have no way of determining the periodicity of the pole shifts.
