Paleolithic is an era starting just before mesolithic (13,000 or somewhere around that years ago - I cant remember exactly) going back to the dawn of man which is around 2.5 million years ago. Well there is dispute when the first man showed up but it certainly wasnt 110 million years ago like the Lake murrey "paleo" meteorite which is a Cretaceous meteorite - not a paleolithic one. "Relic", which has also been used is a much better word to describe these meteorites. Cheers DEAN www.meteoriteshop.com
