Lunar rock sheds new light on the Moon
An international team of geologists has measured the
precise age and chemical composition of a meteorite from
the Moon's Imbrium impact basin, sometimes called the right
eye of the "man in the Moon". The results provide the best
estimate yet of when the Moon and the Earth stopped being
bombarded by large rocks and could therefore help
scientists calculate with more certainty when life on Earth
began (E Gnos et al. 2004 Science 305 657).

So 10 billion years after the earth was here or 4 billion years ago a
rock hit the moon .
How old te rock is has nothing to do with the age of the moon.
You must know the age of a core sample or many core samples.
How old was that rock befor it hit thee moon ?
Ask me for GrayPupa and Ill get out and ***** in yer gas tank : ))
