The reference that I forward to you (Jull, 1997) calls out a terrestrial age for Lafayette as being ~9kya. I still haven't found the reference that brings that age down to the "2,900 years ago" that Astrobiology Magazine staffwriter, Dr. David Noever, wrote about in his article.
correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt (wasnt) lafayette on display in the smithsonian? granted i'm working on a 15 year old memory here, but wasnt the stone perfectly crusted with glossy black crust and flowlines? my memory of the stone is that it was more attractive in tewrms of crust than millbillillie or camel donga - comperable to that of zagami. how is this possible if the stone is 3 to 9 kya old? or is my memory just failing me in my old age?
