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.
Geologists set about exploring the Earth, seeking the oldest rock formations on the planet. The oldest surface rock is found in Canada, Australia and Africa, with ages ranging from 2.5 to 3.8 billion years. The very oldest rock was discovered in Canada in 1999, and estimated to be just over 4 billion years old. This set a minimum age for the Earth, but thanks to geologic processes like weathering and plate tectonics, it could still be older.
