"I assume you're familiar with nitrogen to carbon conversion via radiation. Any idea what the nitrogen level on Mars is?"

You're talking about is the nuclear collisions of GCR in Earth's atmosphere with Nitrogen-14 producing Carbon-14.

Nitrogen is a small component of the Martian atmosphere, a couple percent I think.
