The fact that you think stuff is locked up in the fossil simply shows that you don't know what you're talking about. They had to dissolve the fossil to release the "blood cells".
the connective tissue found in the fossils are rather meaty and have lots of carbons
It doesn't matter how many 'carbons' they contained. It matters how much carbon-14 they contained. Since the half-life of C14 is ~5000 years, there's no point trying to use that method to date ANYTHING that's 70 million years old.
