Deskripsyon
English: Polished cut of specimen of Archaean (i.e. ~3 Billion years old) quartz-pebble metaconglomerate from the Jack Hills, Western Australia. These metaconglomerates are renowned for containing the oldest mineral grains (so-called detrital zircons) of the earth (~4.4 Billion years old).

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) and rocks in the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (Eoarchean, 4.28 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
