The father, Abraham Hausman, originally was Huseman, was both a prosperous schooner owner, had an oystering business, and he was lucky that he owned land above a rich deposit of trap rock, hence the name Granite Village.

父亲亚伯拉罕·豪斯曼， 原本姓胡斯曼，既是成功双桅帆船船主，又经营着一家牡蛎生意， 而且他很幸运地拥有一块位富含辉绿岩矿藏土地，因此这个地方被称为花岗岩。

他们发现是东部沙漠中那些坚硬辉绿岩球，这种石头比花岗岩还要硬。

In the 1970s, geologists dated the belt to be over 3.7 billion years old some of the oldest rocks on Earth.

在20世纪70年代，地质学家测定该绿岩带年龄超过37亿年， 是地球最古老岩石一。

And for years, scientists have been probing the belt for evidence of ancient life.

多年来，科学家们一直在该绿岩带寻找古代生命证据。

Partially buried under the ice and snow of West Greenland, there’s a belt of rock called the Isua Greenstone Belt.
