The same way there can be 7.5bn year old stardust on a 4.5bn year old earth. Age of the earth makes no difference.How can there be stardust from 7,5b year ago on earth if the earth is only 6000 years old or so
Exactly. One of those numbers has to be wrong.
I'm not sure the two notions can be credibly regarded with equivalence however ..The same way there can be 7.5bn year old stardust on a 4.5bn year old earth. Age of the earth makes no difference.
Older than dirt?
Why not? Unless you qualify why you consider the earth to be only 6000 years old (which was not done), there is no fundamental difference.I'm not sure the two notions can be credibly regarded with equivalence however ..
Yeah .. the credibility of unsupported notions here is up against the solid, contextualised objective evidence (isotopic composition) presented in the OP link.Why not? Unless you qualify why you consider the earth to be only 6000 years old (which was not done), there is no fundamental difference.
Might the absence of blackness of the inclusion be due to it being protected from the heat? (Its centrality in the sample might suggest this?)Incidentally the sample fragment I have contains a mysterious inclusion.

Well like .. I suppose a pawn shop test would qualify as an *in the lab* test?I don't know.
What seemed to have piqued Washington Uni interest for investigation was not only the sample being fluorescent under UV but the image as well.
On the subject of testing a geologist on a forum came up with an interesting idea to get it tested at a pawn shop.
Many pawn shops now apparently use hand held X-ray fluorescent spectrometers to test the authenticity of items.
I have a bit of experience with using X-ray fluorescent spectrometers where I used to work. Unfortunately they went out of business as well.Well like .. I suppose a pawn shop test would qualify as an *in the lab* test?
