Two geologists believe they have discovered what could be the world's oldest rocks near the Eastern shores of Hudson Bay in North Quebec. Jonathan O'Neil from McGill University and Richard Carlson from Carnegie Institution of Washington say that tests conducted on the rocks from this region, indicate that they could be as old as 4.28 billion years old, only 300,000 years younger than the Earth.
