It is not uncommon that some species have repeated names such as Lutra Lutra, Bombus Bombus, Turdus Turdus, Lupus Lupus etc. When it is necessary to use a Latin name, follow the standard practice.t is not uncommon that some species have repeated names such as Lutra Lutra, Bombus Bombus, Turdus Turdus, Lupus Lupus etc. When it is necessary to use a Latin name, follow the standard practice.
A sample of gneiss from the site of the Earth's oldest dated rocks (the Acasta River area of Canada). This sample has been dated at 4.03 billion years old.
This age has been determined with the radioactive dating technique. The precise decay rate of radioactive elements is used as a clock: the number of daughter products in one rock indicates its age. The oldest meteorites ever dated in the Solar System are 4,56 billion years old, the oldest minerals on Earth are 4,4 billion years old, and the oldest rocks on Earth are 4 billion years old.
