Deep Time Geology

Deep Time Geology

This modern concept was developed in the 18th century by Scottish geologist James Hutton (1726–1797). Modern science has since established, after a long and complex history of developments, that the age of the Earth is around 4.54 billion years.

Crystal World offers a collection of the oldest rocks on earth; Acasta Gneiss, and Jack Hills Zircon.

We also have a large collection of Stromatolites, from the oldest on earth to modern day specimens.
