It's weird. This time it did connect me to the news page.

The link works fine for me....got anything to say about that article?

I say, that's pretty old!

"Because Earth recycles its building blocks so thoroughly--particularly in the mantle, the layer just below the plant's relatively thin outer crust--no purely primordial material has been found before."

Interesting. I have always had the feeling that a blade of grass is as old as Earth's core, relatively speaking.

All I can say is that the oldest matter on earth is at most only six days older than the rest of the matter on earth, so no prize to the "oldest" rock.

The variations in the composition of rocks, their formations, and layers are interesting to look at and study.

for the link.
