America's Oldest Rock - Part 1

About this episode

What is the oldest rock you can stand on in the United States? As the title of Frost et al., 2025 says, it is a simple question with a complex answer.  In this episode, we journey to the north-central United States, where you'll find some of the oldest rocks in North America. Join us as we go through the candidate locations and dive real deep into the weeds of zircon uranium-lead geochronology! The more you learn, the less you know.
