Default Solar System's Oldest Rock

I 'm looking at a picture of it from the Cassini's camera. I read its
the solar system's largest potato shaped object.. Looking very close I
say it was a lot rounder,but was hit in two. Seems this great collision
knocked all the dust off its surface.and made it tumble along It has
more crators of any object I've ever seen. That is a big clue that its
very old. I estimate it to be 8.5 billion years old,and came into the
solar system from the Oort cloud.. Captured by Saturn a billion years
before saturn had its ring. Hyperion is more like the Earth
composition. It has lots of iron,and other materials that are found on
Earth Sure would be nice if we could find the other half of Hyperion

I think Hyperion was split in three pieces,anf the other two are the
Mars potato Moons (why not) bert

My bet its the one in Australia,but I could go with Stone Mt. in
Atlanta. Both have their mysteries,and both are breath taking

They relate so well. Comets,asteroids meteors,and the larger rocks like
our Moon Mercury,Mars,and even Venus. Only their gravity creates some
changes. They have one thing in common they are dry. The Earth is the
only wet one. bert

This is a short theory ,so it must be good(Einstein) Rocks get older
than the Earth moving outward Moon older than the Earth Mars older than
the Moon Jupiter rock core older than Mars etc. Rocks in the Oort cloud
older than the nebula that created the Sun. Now that's far out Bert
