Have you ever thought about how old the earth is? There is a lot of radiological evidence that the age of the earth is around 50 million years. Because the earth’s crust is constantly changing, it is difficult to find evidence of the earliest parts of the earth’s formation. However, there have been many discoveries of the formations. Earth rocks that are close to the history of planet Earth itself, so “The Seventh Day” reviews a group of these impressive rock discoveries that are billions of years old, according to the “Seventh Day” website.more ancient” As follows:
Jack Hills CZ Stone
It is the oldest geological material found on Earth Planet Earthdating back about 4.375 billion years, takes 6 million years to form, trace elements found in zircon indicate that it came from water-rich granite rocks such as granodiorite or tonalite.

حجر Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone belt
In 2001, geologists discovered the oldest known rocks on Earth.Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone beltOn the coast of Hudson Bay in northern Quebec, geologists have dated the oldest fragments of shale rock to about 4.28 billion years ago using ancient volcanic deposits, which they call “pseudo-amphibolite.”

It was found in Antarctica in 1984 and is believed to come from Mars. The meteorite first came to international attention in 1996, when a team of researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston announced they had spotted possible signs of life on Mars in the meteorite.
