JTL URANIUM ROCK

JURASSIC TODILTO LIMESTONE

$25.00 + $12.80 shipping

This rock was collected at ground level

(not underground) during April 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.

What makes JTL rocks very special, compared with

other uranium minerals, is that radioactive dinosaur

fossils are more likely located in JTL rocks, rather

than in other varieties of uranium mineral rocks.

The New Mexico Museum of Natural History has

many displays of radioactive dinosaur fossils, and

these originated at Jurassic Canyon, near Grants.

Mount Taylor, the long-extinct uranium volcano,

spewed huge amounts of uranium during the Jurassic

era, 200 million to 146 million years ago; this

was the era when the shores of Lake Ambrosia

(in the shadow of the Mount Taylor volcano), teemed with many dinosaurs of various species.
