If anyone else is curious, the oldest rocks found are about 8 times older than what is discussed in the article.

National Geographic has been driving me crazy with this email popup. I won't be giving them my email, so sadly I will not be reading any National Geographic articles.

If you disable Javascript, it seems to still load the full article, and doesn't break formatting.

That email popup is obnoxious UI. I really might never visit their site ever again. It's that bad.

Plus if you're decent with the inspector, you can usually remove the paywall and then if the body doesn't scroll find the Event Listener for `onscroll` and kill that; it almost always is just a simple fn preventing scroll events
