An ancient, meteorite, or achondrite, was discovered in the Sahara desert last year that has now been identified as chunk from a protoplanet that formed before Earth came into existence.
The space rock, named EC 002, dates back 4.6 billion years and consists mostly of volcanic rock, leading experts to believe it came from the crust of a very early planet....
...no asteroid shares the spectral features of EC 002, indicating that almost all of these bodies have disappeared, either because they went on to form the building blocks of larger bodies or planets or were simply destroyed.'

Note: the Moon is older than the Earth, dating to 5.3 - 6.3 billion years old.
Can you cite a source for those figures?
"The Moon formed 4.51 billion years ago, or even 100 million years earlier, some 50 million years after the origin of the Solar System, as research published in 2019 suggests."

Regards,
I imagine the source can be found wherever they dated the surface dust (older) and the rocks (younger). Perhaps NASA or some independent labs. You’ll have to look around on your own - sorry to inconvenience you with doing your own research.
yup
Wait. What we call a “year” is when the Earth orbits the Sun once. If the rock existed before the Earth, how can anyone know how old it is?
So, you make a statement totally at odds with mainstream planetary astronomers and geologists, claiming that the Moon was actually formed billions of years earlier than the Earth, and CAN'T cite a source.
So, according to your logic, you can make all the absurd claims you want, and unless I can to the legwork and find your UNIDENTIFIED sources, your statements stand?!
But I guess all I need to do now is google "older surface dust" and "younger rocks," and I'll find it myself, you say?
See my tagline!

Rii-iight! And there were no hours, minutes, and seconds until clocks were invented!

: 4.6 BILLION-year-old space rock discovered in the Sahara
Doo Dat B B4 or after SAHARA was a green garden ???
See my tagline!

what? a tagline wow! that’s impressive!
There are so many pressing problems, it's safe to say we can put investigating this rock on the back burner for a couple billion years. So far so good. Why spoil it?
I will admit that, unlike that charrlatan Ken Hamm, I do not believe that Adam and T. Rex were neighbors.
The sands of the Sahara hide a lot of possibilities. Not bad for what once was inhabitable land. I hold to the idea that ‘The Hyborean age’ has some truth to it.
I also believe the reported age of the Willendorf figurine. Too, since ‘Otzi, the frozen man of the Alps’ is over 5000 years old.
That’s an interesting point. When did someone come up with the idea of hours seconds and minutes? And how did anyone know what the record for the hundred yard dash was before then?
Important questions, Texas Eagle - and questions deserving that a keen, analytical mind like yours investigate them. Please get back to us over time, as your sleuthing undercovers the mystery surrounding them!
Meanwhile, let's let the cosmologists and astrophysicists deal with 4.6-billion-year-old meteorites found in the Sahara.

The authority of God is absolute. Time begins when He SAYS it does. He owns it. He defines it. What would all of creation be, to God, without Man in it? It would be nothing more than a massive mechanism, like a car with no driver. Hominids are not Men. Man happens when at least one has in his hands and mind The Word of God, Torah. To us time is the expansion of space and the motion of the planets. To God that is nothing.
Neeners,
So, all the billions of people in the world who do not fit your ‘man’ construct are not ‘human?
If, and just if, your answer is ‘yes’, that they, by your ‘man’ definition, are not ‘human’, then just how would you go about informing them of ‘your point of view of god’, since they, being ‘not human’, would not comprehend?
Kirk's bastard son used protomatter and it negated all his research. But the Klingons killed him, so, crime doesn't pay. Loser.
