Paglalarawan

Quartz-pebble metaconglomerate from the Precambrian of Australia. (Cranbrook Institute of Science collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA)

Very old rocks are common on the Moon and in the Asteroid Belt. Very old rocks are scarce on Earth - this is the result of erosion by running water and plate tectonic recycling and deformation. The oldest reported Earth rocks are all Canadian - the Acasta Gneiss (Eoarchean, 4.03 Ga), rocks in the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (Eoarchean, 4.28 Ga), and subsurface Baffin Island rocks (Eoarchean, 4.45 to 4.55 Ga). The latter rocks are the ~same age as Planet Earth (4.55 Ga).

The rock shown above is a quartz-pebble metaconglomerate from the famous Jack Hills Quartzite (Jack Hills Formation). Microscopic detrital grains of the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4 - zirconium silicate) extracted from Jack Hills Quartzite rock samples are the oldest directly observable Earth materials. Jack Hills detrital zircons range in age from 3.05 Ga to 4.404 Ga. The latter date is early Eoarchean and very close to the age of the Earth. Many refer to this early time interval as "Hadean", but that term lacks a fixed definition and is rejected here.

The depositional age of Jack Hills Quartzite sediments is not well constrained. They were deposited after the youngest known detrital zircons (3.05 Ga) and before low-grade metamorphism of the rocks (2.655 Ga, based on dating of metamorphic monazite crystals).

Stratigraphy: Jack Hills Quartzite, Neoarchean to mid-Mesoarchean, ~2.65 to ~3.05 Ga

Locality: unrecorded/undislcosed site in the Jack Hills, Western Australia
