List, "Oldest-ever igneous meteorite contains clues to planet building blocks:" https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/08/180806095218.htm
"NWA 11119 is the oldest-ever igneous meteorite recorded at 4.565 billion years... "The age of this meteorite is the oldest, igneous meteorite ever recorded," said Professor and Director of the Institute of Meteoritics Carl Agee. "Not only is this just an extremely unusual rock type, it's telling us that not all asteroids look the same. Some of them look almost like the crust of the Earth because they're so light colored and full of SiO2. These not only exist, but it occurred during one of the very first volcanic events to take place in the solar system." There's a good picture of this very odd item in the article.
