Medium Variety Bag: Small Uranium Rocks 3.5 and similar items

NATURAL URANIUM ROCKS 3.5 OZ. SEALED MEDIUM POLY BAG Most of these rocks are from Jurassic Canyon, NM: Richest Surface-Level Uranium Field in the USA; A few rocks may also be from Uravan CO or from Lisbon Valley UT. I collected these rocks on several recent prospecting trips, during June and July 2021. These rocks are too small to sell individually, so they are gathered as a small group, totalling 3.5 oz. weight. The rocks are a random mixture of these enriched mineral types: Jurassic Todilto Limestone (JTL), Carnotite, Coffinite, Tyuyamunite, and Uraninite. I will enclose a geology journal article that declares Jurassic Canyon NM to be the main worldwide source for JTL uranium rocks. What makes this especially interesting is that the JTL rock is the type most likely to contain radioactive fossils of dinosaurs. Several states have locations with ancient dinosaur fossils (e.g., Oregon's John Day State Park, or Colorado's Dinosaur National Monument), but only two locations have numerous radioactive dinosaur fossils: Jurassic Canyon NM, and sites near Price Utah's Dinosaur Museum. WHY THE CHANGE FROM THE 2.5 OZ $9.00 SMALL BAGS? ?The small bags: 2.5 oz of rocks for $9.00 plus shipping, will still be offered! Both sizes will be available. The two clear poly bags can hold this slightly larger weight of rocks (3.5 oz. instead of 2.5 oz.), and yet postage cost for mailing will remain constant for the two size-choices. Radiation levels will be similar: 10,000. CPM minimum, in the same way, for the two size-choices. Adding the 3.5 oz. size enables me to include larger rocks than what was possible previously for the smaller 2.5 oz. weight alternative. THIS CHANGE IS NOT PRICE-INFLATION! Do the calculations, to show that the rocks' price-per ounce has NOT shown price-inflation, in any way. In the old packaging of 2.5 oz., the price-per-ounce remains unchanged @ $3.60 per ounce. These new larger packages of 3.5 oz. for $12.00, cost merely $3.43 per ounce, a very slight DECLINE in price! The radioactive response varies from package to package; the minimum response is 10,000. CPM, when measured with a standard pancake probe such as Ludlum's Model 44-9 probe. The buyer CANNOT state, "Send me only rock bags with high-level response, above 40,000. CPM." These are bags of rock samples only; to specify a high response rate, then the buyer must choose a high- level single rock. These rock-bags will be wrapped in brown paper, so the response- rate will NOT be known prior to its mailing to the buyer. NOTE that uranium, whether in a single- rock form or as a collection of rock- pebbles, CANNOT be shipped to any foreign country. This even applies to Canada, a neighboring country that has far more uranium reserves underground, than is true for the USA. SEALED CLEAR DOUBLE POLY BAG These rocks must be left sealed inside their clear container: Two thick zip-lock bags, one inside the other. DO NOT OPEN; the rocks' radioactivity can be measured safely through the double-thick clear poly bag. The rock varieties differ from others, but each bag's highest measured activity level is 10,000 cpm or more, when measured with a sensitive pancake probe. The empty two clear poly bags, combined, weigh about 0.4 oz. The 3.5 oz.weight is for the bare rocks only; I weigh the rocks on my digital scale, prior to moving the rocks to the smaller inner bag. ALL FEDERAL REGULATIONS ABOUT URANIUM ROCKS ARE CORRECTLY OBEYED (1) BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM): Collection of rocks is okay for rockhound hobbyists; ATV vehicles are not allowed; daily limit on weight of collected rocks permitted. (2) NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC): No manufacturing from rocks allowed without NRC advance license; correct labeling; medical heath safety statement. (3) U.S. POST OFFICE (USPS): Double-box packaging of mailed rocks; metal shielding of uranium rocks; no exports allowed to any foreign countries. SAFE HANDLING OF ROCKS IS PRESENTED ON SEVERAL WRITTEN HANDOUTS (1) "Health Precautions to be Followed When Handling Uranium Ore" (one page; written by the seller) (2) "A Word about Safe Handling" (one page; written by Ph.D. geologist / book author Robert Lauf) (3) "Unwrapping and Storing Your Uranium Rock Collection" (one page; written by the seller) (4) "Small Bag of Mixed Uranium Rocks" (half-page; written by the seller; November 2022) (5) " Jurassic Todilto Limestone: The NM Canyon's Very Unique Uranium Mineral" (two pages; written by the seller, July 2022) (6) "What Are the Standards and Regulations for Uranium Exposure?" (two pages; compiled by the Federal OSHA (Occupational Safety Health Administration) and the Federal EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), 2009) POLY BAGS ARE SELECTED RANDOMLY PRIOR TO MAILING These poly bags vary in their activity levels, but buyers cannot choose a preferred activity level: medium or upper. Each bag is wrapped in brown paper before it is sold, so its specific activity level is unknown. Its activity level will be at some random level, 10,000 cpm or higher, with level measured by a standard pancake probe. SHIPPING Shipping is only allowed within the USA, NOT to any foreign country, because of USPS postal regulations. If you buy several poly bags, you may be charged $7.90 postage cost on each bag, but I will REFUND to the buyer's PayPal account any overpayment on the combined package. The postage cost partial-refund will be done soon after the package has been mailed. Stephen Buggie, Ph.D. Psychology Professor Emeritus Univ. of New Mexico, Gallup NM 87301
