The very oldest rocks discovered to date were found in 2008 in Northern Quebec, along the Hudson's Bay coast, 40 km south of Inukjuak.

There are other locations around the globe that have rocks around the 3.8 billion years old (and older!) mark, some in Austrailia, Africa and other places in Canada.
