JTL URANIUM ROCK
JURASSIC TODILTO LIMESTONE
$35.00 & $12.80 shipping
This rock was collected at ground level
(not underground) during Sept. 2019, at the
Jurassic Canyon, located 20 miles NW of the
town of Grants NM. As a type of limestone,
it was produced at a body of water in visible
layers. Of the several types of uranium minerals,
its layers of mineral are very visible. When you
buy this rock, I will enclose a photocopy of a
research article that confirms that the rock
was produced gradually in water, during a
time interval of thousands or millions of years.
The water body was called Ambrosia Lake,
which has been dry for millions of years. This JTL
is the main type of uranium mineral within which
radioactive dinosaur fossils are found.
The really special feature of Jurassic Todilto
Limestone is that, this is the type of uranium
rock that is most likely to contain fossils of
radioactive dinosaurs, at least when compared with
other types of uranium ore. Why is radioactivity so
likely to be found at Jurassic Canyon? The answer
is clear: This canyon is situated in the shadow
of MOUNT TAYLOR, a long-extinct volcano that
carried radioactive uranium from deep within the
Earth, transporting this mineral to the surface
or to shallow locations near the surface. The
Mount Taylor Mine is located five miles from
Jurassic Canyon; this mine has the richest past
history of producing uranium; richest compared
with all other undeground mines in USA. The
"Mother Lode" of the Mount Taylor Mine is at a
3,000. ft depth, and it extends horizontally for six
miles, going directly under the extinct volcano. The
Mother Lode varies from 200 ft to 600 ft thick, at
the 3,000. ft depth. The Mount Taylor volcano
was very active from 200 million to 146 million
years ago, when this local area was inhabited by
many species of dinosaurs, including ALLOSAURUS,
"the king of radioactive dinosaurs." The T-Rex
species, featured often in Hollywood movies, did
not inhabit this area until 50 million years later,
when the uranium volcano had become extinct, and
when much of the uranium mineral was covered
by soil. This volcano was named after U.S.
President Zachary Taylor, who followed President
James Polk, who defeated Mexico in the U.S. -
Mexican War of the late 1840s.
