The New Jersey Geological Survey can tell you!  Also, check out the cool geologic map on their home page.

www.cafepress.com has a lot of great NJ items.  I saw a pillow, mouse pad and other stuff that said, "New Jersey:  Only the strong survive".  My personal favorite was a T-shirt with a map of NJ and it said, "Which exit?  F--- you, that's which exit."  LOL.

I know of a couple of great places near Richmon, IN.  \n\nUS 27 goes north and south through Richmond.  South of Richmond, less that 7 miles, there is a place where the road cuts through a hill and is very popular for hunting fossils.\n\nThe other place in Richmond is at the water falls on the White Water River (really a creek).  It is the track that the retreating glaciers followed and there are lots of fossils to be found at the falls where they have been exposed.

Hylonomus lyelli and Paleothyris are the oldest-known true egg-laying reptiles. Their fossils have been found in 310,000,000-year-old coal deposits in Joggins, Nova Scotia. They were about 8 inches long in adulthood and looked like modern lizards. \n\nI couldn't pick them out of a lizard lineup, personally.

Q: What is the oldest plant living right now? — Ana, Flagstaff, Arizona\n\nThe 26-foot high King holly in Tasmania — the world’s oldest living plant. [Tasmania Parks & Wildlife ©, used with permission]\n\nA: The oldest living plant individual — King’s holly (Lomatia tasmanica) — is 43,600 years old.\n\nDetermining that King’s holly is indeed the oldest living plant reads like a detective story. In 1937, an odd-ball hermit, bushman, miner, scientific collector, and generally neat guy, named Deny King discovered the plant while mining tin by hand in the remote southwest of Tasmania. The plant was named in King’s honor.\n\nI'd look for sequoias in the sequoia national forest in california (not in wyoming where yellowstone is located) though...Don't be lead astray...

Carbonates is right. The best answer is A.\n\nRocks found in convergent boundaries probably won't stay around that long (in geologic years) because they can get subducted & melt. At divergent boundaries they are more likely to be new rock b/c of rifting in earth's crust. Ocean basins are a bad place to look for older rocks b/c of the last two statements.\n\nAnd yes the oldest rocks are found in Canada in what is termed the "Canadian Shield".\n\n:)

Archean/Archaean Eon (Precambrian Time) 3.8 billion years ago\n\nRocks older than this have been destroyed through plate subduction. The rocks were essentially recycled through melting.\n\nThe oldest rocks on earth are found in northernmost Canada (referred to as the Canadian Shield - have to check on the name; it's been a while) & Greenland.\n\nAustralia, too, has some of the oldest rocks. They also have fossils of one of the oldest lifeforms on earth, stromatolytes.

The most difficult part of assessing these sorts of things is that if you haven't been there and seen it yourself, you really don't know what is being observed. As long as there are no facts to confuse the issue, the imagination is free to run wild. \n\nI've read about the Bimini Road before, and find it very plausible that it could be a natural deposit of broken up beach rock. In that depostional environment it is common for the seabed to form hardened layers that can be broken up by a storm and might resemble large flagstones.  As a geologist, it seems to me that the most obvious way to prove that Chinese sailors dumped these rocks is to sample the rocks and determine if they are allocthonous- that is from somewhere else (like China??). Since no one seems willing to present this sort of evidence, the claims don't seem to be scientifically supported.\n\nThe Yonaguni Island  is actually more interesting to me, although I see a dangerous assumption being made by anyone saying these are ten thousand years old. The website is very vague about the water depth, but it appears these may be in only 20 feet of water. That would make it possible for these to be man-made and only be a few thousand or even a few hundred years old. The area of this island is quite active tectonically, and subsidence could have only been within the the last millenium. Dr. Schoch also reports that all of the seemingly shaped rocks are part of bedrock, that is there are no large blocks of stone that would help prove these are manmade. He also reports similar styles of weathering of the local rock on some beaches on the island, so the whole thing could still be naturally formed. Again, there are geologic methods that could probably be used to prove how long these rocks have been submerged, and the fact that no one seems to be trying to prove anything here makes me suspicious that there is nothing to prove; that it is much more profitable to keep generating controversy that makes for good tourism and dive attractions. \n\nTo see how the rock could be tested to determine when it was submerged this could be employed:\n(I quote)\n\n "Burial dating:\nIf a quartz-bearing material accumulates 26Al and 10Be while exposed at the surface and is subsequently buried deep enough that it is completely shielded from cosmic rays (e.g. by deposition in a cave, sedimentary deposit, or deep water body), then the 26Al/10Be ratio will diminish over time, recording the time since burial, according to (Granger and Muzikar, 2001) "\nfrom\nhttp://web.ges.gla.ac.uk/~dfabel/CN_explain.html\n\nSo as a geologist, I remain a skeptic because the parties who have made these discoveries are not attempting to prove scientifically that the evidence is real, for whatever reason.

Scientists say that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. The oldest rocks that have been found are 3.8-3.9 billion years old. They actually think the Earth is 4.55 billion years old to be specific. Just to let you know i got it off  a website.

i dont know any off the top of my head, but if you look up skateshops in new jersey, you could find plenty. I found plenty of them by doing that for pennsylvania.

The Appalachians were & are also some of the oldest orogenies.\n\nTwo others are the Alps in Europe & the Rockys in Western US & Canada

The following link is a list of skateparks in Jersey.  Most are probably public parks, but this site is really good about having information and pictures.  I don't live in the area but I seem to think there are a ton of street spots in Jersey.  And...depending on how far you are from the city, there's an AWESOME underground skatepark called B Unique in NYC.  It's usually packed with rollerbladers.  \n\nHope that helps!
