It has recently come to light that a geologist in Canada has discovered what might just be the oldest water on Earth. The water sample was collected from a mine in Ontario and has been analyzed by geochemists at the University of Oxford.
As
reported by Macleanâs, the geochemist named Barbara Sherwood Lollar sent water samples for testing to a colleague at the University of Oxford. She discovered the water sample while visiting the Glencore-owned Kidd Creek mine. Lollar first went on an expedition to the Kidd Creek back in 1992 and 17 years later, Lollar along with her team extracted whatâs being reported as the Earthâs oldest water from 2.4 kilometres underground.
