Geoscientists find oldest water on Earth in underground mine

Kerry Hall | May 16, 2013
Geoscientists from the University of Toronto discovered a pocket of water approximately 2.6 billion years old in a mine in Ontario.
The ancient pool of water was found two miles underground near the town of Timmins and pre-dates the existence of multicellular life.
Researchers said it suggests the possibility that ancient life might also be found there and perhaps even on Mars, according to a report by NBC news.
Water can become isolated i n the Earth's crust and serves as a time capsule of the environment during that period.
The findings appear in Nature, the international weekly journal of science.

Wow, I wonder how many tests will be done with this water. Did you know water can also be trapped in crystal & fire agates? It's rare, but it happens. I have always wondered what information is in these "capsules" of water.
