This comment made me realize how much of a ship of Theseus question this is. If you own made of stone, is that the “as old as” the stone, or when the thing was made? If your meteor was made into something, does it somehow change its age? None of that matter came from nowhere though, so the meteor was made from even older stuff, eventually going back to the creation of the universe.
