[OAB 11] The paper cited here by young-Earth advocates (R.S. Boeckl, Journal of Geophysical Research, v.77, no.2, pp.367-368 (1972)) deals with the age of a certain class of meteorites known as tektites. One of the parameters mentioned by Boeckl while discussing this subject is the "terrestrial age" of the tektites, by which he means the amount of time that has elapsed since the tektite fell to Earth. Boeckl discusses "terrestrial ages" ranging from 10,000 to 500,000 years. Apparently, some young-Earth advocates misunderstood the "terrestrial age" in Boeckl's paper to be the age of the Earth, and cited his paper as limiting the age of the Earth to 100,000 years. Therefore, this claim seems to be based on nothing more than a misunderstanding. Although most young-Earth advocates have abandoned this unfounded claim, it has not yet ceased circulating in lists of "young-Earth evidences."
