NOT OLDEST TOOL, OLDEST ITEM
What do you think is the oldest item in your home? mine is a "Dawson" point estimated to be 4-5 thousand years old. A gopher pushed it up in my front yard about 10 years ago. Makes me wonder what life was like for the maker.

Dinosaur tooth we found on my wife's farm in Vincentown NJ. We also found some bones, but not sure what the age is of them.

As similar to above - Petrified Wood.
Picked up out West (Probably in Petrified Natl Park) before it was Illegal to do so. (When I was a kid.) 60's.
I believe @Oakie's Dinosaur tooth, will trump all.

The granite countertops in our kitchen. About 300 million years old. Give or take.

Not as old as Kevin's counters, but my wife has some leftovers in the back of the fridge that sure look like they could be contenders here. 🤮

If we're including stuff that isn't man made...Shark's teeth unearthed about 40 feet below the surface while excavating the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in NE Mississippi.

The first three pictures are of a Hadrosauridae egg, it's about 65 million years old.
The next pictures are footprints left in sand about 280 million years ago.
This fish is from the Green River Formation, about 50-60 million years old.
Also have an assortment of dinosaur teeth and many more fossils.
The grips on my Colt Defender and Colt Mustang are Mammoth ivory and are about 12,000 years old.

I have fossil mammoth ivory on a 1911, there is no date on them though. Ivory from Russia, stock maker from Iowa. That could average to 12,000 years old. Most mammoths were killed off by about 10,000 years ago.

I have a flint arrowhead, but I have no idea how old it is.

There are numerous websites where you can put a picture of your point on, and some experts will let you know an approx. age. I found one on Fakebook local to Arkansas that helped me. I actually got a prof from UofA who had done a dig close to me who gave me the info.

I'm at a loss as to why I should put faith in a dating methodology which requires the assumption nothing happened over countless unobserved millennia to affect the timer/timeclock.
I've got some things in my home that predate the older folks I know.
