FOSSILS OLDER THAN THE SUN

Professor Zinner has astonished the world by discovering non-biological fossil relics that existed even before the Earth came into existence. These small grains were condensed within the cooling gases ejected from stars before the solar system was born. They were trapped within the assembling meteorites when the solar system formed. These astonishing particles have refuted the notion that mankind cannot handle material objects that existed before the earth was made.
