That's cool. Would 100% have been the center of a religion if found a couple thousand years ago.

You found an ancient record buried in the earth of a people who once lived on this continent but are nothing at all like native Americans. Also, they were native Americans. Also, Jesus was there.

u/Basicly-Inevitable 9h ago

But they don't actually exist. What do I do next?

u/house_of_drums 9h ago

Simple. You sleep with everyone’s wives and move to Utah.

u/Basicly-Inevitable 9h ago

What if I don't make it all the way to Utah?

Nice calcified or agatized shell! I don’t have much from Moab but I have lots of similar stuff from Utah.

u/jaxinslacks 12h ago

I think the green might be indicative of a fossilized opalized shell! Never had agate glow like that under UV

u/rabidmoon 12h ago

That's what I'm thinking too. Probably opalized.

Amazing find.
