Ancient meteorite 'older than Earth' from beyond orbit of Mars found at Lake Eyre

A meteorite estimated to be 4.5 billion years old has been recovered by Perth researchers from a remote part of Lake Eyre in outback South Australia.

In a race against time, the geologists dug the 1.7 kilogram meteorite out just hours before heavy rains would have wiped away any trace of it.

The team from Curtin University had been trying to track the fall site since the meteorite was spotted by locals and five remote cameras in late November in the William Creek and Marree areas.

But on New Year's Eve, as heavy rains brewed a downpour, the team found their needle in a haystack.
