The Hawaiian islands I think are less than 100 million years old, while the earth is estimated at 4,600 million.

That is very possible. Depends on the rate of plate slide which is a hard factor to actually figure. Which of course looks like it may have changed speed a few times by looking at it. It also looks like there may have been a lull in the storm with less tectonic activity in the whole of the timeline.

I personally think the whole slate has been wiped clean several times in the last 4.6 million years. And I think we are about ready for it to happen again. I think we are only getting half the real story of our geological history. A story that even the rocks do not remember because they have been recycled so many times.

Olivine is the key... find and age the Olivine.
