Generally not. Radiocarbon dating generally cannot date materials older than about 50,000 years, and most rocks are millions to hundreds of millions of years old. Additionally, most rocks do not have asignificant carbon content. One exception comes in partly burned vegetation buried in volcanic rock, which can be fairly young.
