More recent work has confirmed the cumulative mass flux in the 10-9 to 10-4 gram size range. [See S. G. Love and D. E. Brownlee, “A Direct Measurement of the Terrestrial Mass Accretion Rate of Cosmic Dust,” Science, Vol. 262, 22 October 1993, pp. 550–553.]

. Evolutionists admit that the flux rate has decreased, at least in Region C, by about a factor of 10.

  

This flux is about one order of magnitude less than the average integrated flux over the past three aeons, calculated on the basis of crater counts on young lunar maria surfaces.  Ibid., p. 92.
