How old is the oldest rock, where was it found, and what type of rock is it? To answer that question, we'll journey into Canada's Northwest Territories, deep underground to the breaking point of rocks, and we'll run into a shrimpy friend from Episode 10.

25: The Oldest Rock on Earth

This podcast starts at the beginning of Earth's prehistory and works forward through time.  Bedrock will explore the first 90% of Earth’s past, a time known as the Precambrian Era.  Before humans, before dinosaurs… there was the Precambrian.
The Earth was an incredibly alien world, but not a dead one. 
Along the way, you will build a mental toolkit to see the world like a geologist. You will never look at a mountain, the moon, or pond scum in quite the same way again.

Welcome to Bedrock.
