JTL URANIUM ROCK

 

JURASSIC TODILTO LIMESTONE

This rock was collected at ground level

(not underground) during June 2021, 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.

 

The research article also states clearly that,

Jurassic Canyon NM is the only uranium

site WORLDWIDE that has JTL rocks in

large measurable quantities.  It is this type

of uranium rock that is especially likely to

hold radioactive dinosaur fossils.  The demise

of the dinosaurs most likely happened when

the dino drowned in the water of the ancient

Ambrosia Lake, and the water promoted the

dinosaur's fossilization process.

 

NOTE:  This JTL rock is very thin, and I cannot

guarantee that it will remain in one continuous piece

during shipping.  But you WILL RECEIVE the entire

3.6 oz of this uranium rock.

 

 

At PRICE UTAH, 280 miles northwest of Jurassic

Canyon, there are small patches where JTL rocks

are found.  Price Utah has a medium-sized dinosaur

museum with some radioactive fossils.

 

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.

 

 

 

SUGGESTION TO URANIUM

ROCK HOUNDS: JOIN ME SOON

TO COLLECT MORE ROCKS!

The underground mines at Jurassic

Canyon closed during the late 1980s,

because nuclear power had become

unpopular at that time. But today,

nuclear power has restored its

popularity among environmentalists,

mainly because it has NO carbon

content and it contributes nothing

to global warming. The underground

mining will resurrect, if/when the

world price of uranium reaches

$65.00 per lb. Currently, that

price is rising, and is approx.

$58.00. The whole town of Grants

NM is eager to see the return of

prosperity when the mines are

opened again!

But uranium "rockhounds" should

arrange with me soon, to join me for

uranium rock-collecting; when the

mines re-open, fences around them

will keep "rockhounds" away from the

best rock-collecting sites! It has

now been two full years since I

have been out there collecting rocks

with visitors; join me now!  My first

14 trips to Jurassic Canyon were

done alone, but that is risky because

the uranium field is inhabited by

a few rattlesnakes; I fear that, if I

collect rocks alone and get a snake

bite, possibly I might not be able to

drive the car 22 miles to the hospital

in Grants. I need a companion when

collecting the rocks!  On the last day

of a 3-5 day outing, I divide the

found rocks with the guest, 50-50

so we each get the same weight of

found rocks, at the end. If any

found rocks are radioactive dinosaur

fossils, those too are shared 50-50.

Arrange your rock-collecting visit!
