This completely muddles the commonly accepted theory of earth’s common years. Diamonds form when the pressure of an area is greater than the temperature, but the zircon that these diamonds were in showed no signs of undergoing great pressure. Possibly diamonds are formed in a different way than originally thought, or maybe zircon isn’t as stable as was assumed throughout so many years of research which could contradict the idea that the chemical makeup is basically the same as it was millions of years ago.
