Hello, a last AD for now, few slices of a paraggneiss called "faux-amphibolite", the oldest rock known on Earth, with an age of 4.28 billions years old! A Hadean crust relic (with possibly Late Heavy Bombardment evidence, based on Os isotopes arguments).
I obtained samples directly from the team published it in Science (26 SEPTEMBER 2008 VOL 321). An agreement on a trade (with meteorites of course), and when they collected during 2009 field work new specimens of garnet-bearing "faux-amhibolite" (4.28Ga), cummingtinite-rich "faux-amphibolite" (4.28Ga), Banded Fe-Formation (3.8Ga), Fe-rich amphibolite (4.02Ga) and Fe-rich garnet amphibolite (4.02Ga) for more studies... some was for me (with all field data)! Few specimens sold in Ensisheim, I have here new slices of the garnet-rich "faux-amphibolite" lithology available (and a link to download the full thesis) : http://www.wwmeteorites.com/Nuvvuagittuq.html Other lithologies uppon request, include the 3.8Ga BIF (first evidence of microbiological life on Earth, as other the other BIF of the same age around the world).
