What state are 10000 year old rocks?
Most rocks are much older than 10,000 years. Volcanic activity is the only real source of rocks that young, so you would have to turn to states that have had volcanic eruptions in the past 10,000 years. Those would include: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona.
