The earth can be older than 60 million years

French researchers based on analysis of ancient gas I believe that the age of the Earth can be more than 60 million years.

Geochemists from the University of Lorraine, analyzing the composition of ancient gases in quartz rocks South Africa and Australia, believe that our planet was not formed after 100 million years after the origin of the Solar system, but much earlier, in 40 million years.

Experts researched the xenon found in quartz from Australia and Africa, which is 2.7 and 3.4 billion years, respectively. Sealed in mineral gas, allows scientists to compare the isotope ratios of modern and ancient xenon. This analysis and allow experts to argue about the earlier formation of the planet. Dr. Guillaume Avice: "This work makes the Earth older than we thought. The gas sealed in these quartz samples were transferred to us as a kind of time capsule. Access to these ancient samples gives us new data and allows us to Refine previous measurements. The xenon gas signals allow us to calculate when the atmosphere was formed, probably at the time the Earth collided with a planet, which led to the formation of the moon. Our results indicate that the Earth and Moon are older than we thought."
