A meteorite that plummeted into the roof and living room of a house in McDonough, Georgia, has now been found to be 20 million years older than Earth. Researchers who examined fragments of the broken meteorite now think that its parent body split from a monster asteroid (which formed before Earth) about 470 million years ago.

"This particular meteor that entered the atmosphere has a long history before it made it to the ground of McDonough".

Meteorite that crashed into Georgia home is believed to have originated from the main asteroid belt, making it 4.56 billion years old
