[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 625495, member: 214"] The Murchison Meteorite, one of the oldest rocks in existence. It is approximately 4,600,000,000 years old and likely existed before the Earth itself had completely formed...! The Murchison meteorite is one of 16 meteorites known from Victoria, and is rare in that it was actually observed falling, rather than just being found on the ground, so it came to scientists fresh. It exploded in the atmosphere over Murchison, Victoria, about 160km north of Melbourne, on 28 September, 1969 and fell over an area around 35km2. So, when we talk about 'it', were really talking about lots of broken pieces of a single object.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/214/1635130095_fb_img_1635129897241.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
