Well the ABC has picked up a story that reports the 3.49Ga date as 3.9Ga. So a slip of the keyboard has added >400,000,000 years to the age! You have to be so careful when reading reports about science in the general media. The oldest rocks in the Pilbra are about 3.5Ga, so the 3.9Ga just isn't possible.
