Question: If I find a rock today which is n years old and make it into a tool and, 1000 years from now, someone discovers and dates the tool - how old is the tool??

Further, if somebody had gotten their hands on the meteor from Mars found up in the Artic and made a hand axe could it be construed as an armed Martian invasion?

"Question: If I find a rock today which is n years old and make it into a tool and, 1000 years from now, someone discovers and dates the tool - how old is the tool??" One method: All rocks have a patina (varnish) on their surfaces. There would be old patina and 'new' patina and can be (somewhat) dated.
