Starting with the assumption that during the big-bang a small number of free quarks or other fractionally charged particles survive hadron formation, it is likely that within the first 60 minutes all the negative quarks will be captured by helium nuclei to form compact ``particles'' of charge +4/3. At the time of solar system formation only ~1% of these negative quarks will have been reprocessed in supernovas. Thus the free quark content of our planet should be ~50% positive quarks of charge +2/3, ~50% (4He-u) ``particles'' of charge +4/3, and ~1/2% negative u quarks bound to nuclei with Z > 2. It is shown that such a large surplus of positive over negative fractional charges is consistent with the niobium ball results of Fairbank, et al.
