I have a rock. Picked it up when I was a kid.

Meteorites are older than any rock original to earth. They're believed to be as old as the solar system, around 5 billion years.

My grandmother gave me a Trilobite fossil from the Cambrian Age. It's supposedly 585,000,000 years old. She also gave me a fossil Platystrophia, a dual shelled creature from about a hundred million years earlier than that. She found them in Southern Indiana around the turn of the twentieth Century. They are supposedly older than the Geodes and petrified wood she also gave me.
