If meteorites formed from dust from the early universe, then we would expect them to be very old. Indeed, this is what we find. Scientists have used radiometric dating to measure the ages of meteorites. The results show ages of around 4,500,000,000 years that's seven hundred million years older than the oldest rocks on Earth.

Why is antraitica the best place to find meteorites?
Antarctica may not be the BEST place to find meteorites, but it is a very good place. This is because Antarctica is mostly covered with ice and snow, which is white, and meteorites stand out nicely because they are often blackened by the intense heat of passing through the atmosphere.
