Probably based on the age of Earth, if it's one of the building blocks that made the planets.
I saw a program on Science recently that talked about the astroids that orbit Jupiter. Sometimes they get so close to Jupiter that Jupiter bounces them out of its atmosphere and when that happens, they may have a new orbit that can take them directly to Earth.

Titanium and sulfur? Strong but smells bad, kind of like the guy that picks up our trash.

They know because the rock pegged out the 6K limit of their age meter.

If you have the receipt, they'll take it back.

Probably from Uranium-238, it has a half-life of 4.468 billion years.

This meteor’s “new” element, never observed in nature before now, has been observed in implants removed from abductees by that doctor in California. I remember reading a lab analysis of the material being described as extra-terrestial consisting of sulphur and titanium.
I hope he sees this.
To: JoeProBono
That looks like a woman’s, you know, reproductive entrance!
Now called a Wassonite! lol
To: US_MilitaryRules
LMAO! “Hey, honey. How about we hit the Wassonite. Tonight.”
