The document outlines an introductory training program on practical geosciences. It includes an opening speech, discussion, and coffee break on the first day. The program then covers sessions on carbonate rocks, clastic rocks, exercises using interactive workshops and games, movies on geological processes, explanatory software on plate tectonics and earthquakes, and a potential field trip to the Dammam Dome. A variety of topics are listed like carbonate and clastic facies mapping, seismic stratigraphy, and reservoir characterization. The goal is to provide background and hands-on learning to help understand key geological concepts and their application in Saudi Aramco's work.

- 40. 40 Practical GeoScience Training Program 1st Lesson Geological Time
- 41. 41 Practical GeoScience Training Program TIME IS PRECIOUS TO US ALL…. Put this in perspective of earth life span Average life span of human being is 75 years. Earth is 4.5000.000 years old. Humans experience about 0.00017 % of earth life time How do we know the Age of the Earth? The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest rocks are metamorphic rocks but they originated as lava flows and sedimentary rocks. The debris from which the sedimentary rocks formed must have come from even older crustal rocks. The oldest dated minerals (4.0-4.2 billion years) are tiny zircon crystals found in sedimentary rocks in western Australia. The oldest Moon rocks are from the lunar highlands and were formed when the early lunar crust was partially or entirely molten. These rocks, of which only a few were returned by the Apollo missions, have been dated by two methods at between 4.4-4.5 billion years in age. The majority of the 70 well-dated meteorites have ages of 4.4-4.6 billion years. These meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids and represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, have been dated by 5 independent radiometric dating methods. The "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years.
