This results in newer rocks]]> 2019-03-04 13:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/axbase01/h4h7p2wfthm2/wish/337455747 Answer to the question :) https://padlet.com/axbase01/h4h7p2wfthm2/wish/337455751 We don't find super old rocks all the time because it's really deep and you have to go down under ground to find it. Also it takes a while for rocks to form.
