“Old” water? Isolated for a long time, maybe, but it’s no older than the rest.

It’s been passed through the kidneys of countless mammals and dinosaurs before that, evaporated, precipitated, absorbed, ingested and peed out again and again and again. We have an amazing filtration and desalinization system on our remarkable little planet.

BILLIONS OF YEARS ~ far, far, far older than dinosaurs ~ older even than multi-cellular critters.

This is the original stuff and it's full of NEON. A quick reference to a decay table (identifying what NEON comes from) means we can infer some very interesting things about Earth's environment 2 billion years back. (SEE: >http://www.periodictable.com/Isotopes/010.20/index.html )
