JTL URANIUM ROCK

JURASSIC TODILTO LIMESTONE

Found during June 2022 at Jurassic Canyon,

located 20 miles NW from Grants NM

on the ground surface

Weight of rock:  6.3 oz. Radiation: 105,000. CPM,

when measured with a standard pancake probe.

The JTL rocks are identified with visible layers.

This type of rock is rare at all other locations in

the world, but is moderately common at Jurassic

Canyon, near Grants NM. These are sedimentary

rocks, and the combination of geological features

at this canyon promoted the creation of this type

Going back 150 million years ago, to the Jurassic

era, a large freshwater lake existed here, at the

same time as the many species of ancient dinosaurs.

The dinosaurs likely drowned in the lake water,

then for thousands of years the biological tissues

of their bodies were turned into fossiled stone.

The nearby mountain, Mount Taylor, was a uranium

volcano, and its substances made the fossilized

stone radioactive.

This rock can only be mailed to addresses

within the USA, because regulations of the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission forbid the

export of these rocks to any foreign country.
