Was reading up a bit on the Hoba meteorite and came across this page...
http://www.namibweb.com/hoba.htm

The following statement struck me...
"(hoba) is between 200 and 400 million years and it fell on Earth =
approximately 80 000 years ago."

200-400 Ma seems "young" for an iron! Is this valid????

Ciao...
