National Old Rock Day

Old Rock Day is an annual celebration on January 7th every year to celebrate and learn more about the old rocks. This is also the perfect day to start collecting old rocks and appreciate old rocks and fossils.

History of Old Rock Day

The exact origins of this date are unknown and unconfirmed but it has been suggested that the cartoon family known as The Flintstones first created the date. However, no one from The Flintstones can comment.

This is also the day when young children are often encouraged to go out and explore their first "rocky rock". It is a day they can use to bond with their "pets" and solidify the start of their future long-term relationship. Unlike other pets, "pet stone" never ages or dies.

Other festivals on this day include painting and decorating "faces" of stones and gathering attractive pebbles and stones to create original and cheap jewels.

This is also the day when the hobby of building "rock garden" is actively encouraged. Several towns and villages around the world hold contests on this day to find the best-decorated "stone garden".

Erosion, volcanic eruptions, and other natural processes form rock. As a result, rocks are created that after centuries are known as old rocks. By studying old rocks, it is possible to learn more about the Earth, its history, the mysteries beyond the Earth's formation. With fossils such as remains of plants, animals and other organisms present in some old rocks, it is possible to find plants and animals in the past, the causes and consequences of the extinction of it. The zircons are the oldest rock of terrestrial origin, dating back 4.4 billion years. By radioactive dating, it was found in Jack Hills of Australia.
