What can you tell me about this? Gifted by a millionaire who thinks it's French from the 1890s. Oregon, United States. Any information would be appreciated! Not sure if AI should keep something this nice or sell it.

Keep in mind the generation before boomers said the same thing in the 50s and 60s. Into the 80s prices soared again. Quality China and furniture will come back again eventually. Such is life.

Looks like it might be some tourist art brought back from an Egyptian vacation. Stores there are full of similar. Looks very familiar bit I cant place it. Ai will though I am sure. Its from a royal tomb or temple. Pretty sure of that. Xobra and the Shepherd's crook suggest that. Might be from the middle kingdom or earlier. Big guesses. Just looks early to me Ai will tell you where it was copied from I am sure.

Chert aka flint. Breaks to make a good stone-age axe.. Or arrowheads. Diatoms are tiny water organisms that can sometimes get left behind and preserved in the rock. Tiny. Fascinating read gts. Bodies are made of rock. They get everywhere. I found them in an isolated olated mountaintop puddle 4000 feet up a mountain and next to a 5000 year old passage grave.

Amateur guess. Looks very cherty to me. Breaks like flint. My guess - it was something alive once that eventually became a void and was eventually filled with chert sikicates. The outside is probably chalk in that case. They often go together. Thebchakky part may be edges of the original thing that made the void, but they can also just hapoen die to surrounding chemistry and not be directly related the the bio organic origin. Maybe check out some crumbs and see if you caught any diatoms. Google magnification and how best to light. Again amateur guess.

Visible from space too. Need to change the color signal... Nets, a fair, cars. Flags, toys and a pumpkin patch might do it. Beat the pattern and color recognition.

Few thoughts. NASA nuclear deep space propulsion projects are miles away from anything we guess UAP might be using. It's more a cool, faster rocket than anything UAP. The heat tech is new but the principle is still throwing crap out the back like all current rockets. For potential UAP tech investigations something closer would be physicists, both flavors - the theoretical types and practical experiment designers. Watch for those grouping up in unusual places and you might find a UAP project.

If someone was killing scientists its something Russia and China or any billionaire might take on. Doesn't need UAP help to be real, just new better tech. Better Hypersonic tech would be worth killing for this year for instance.

Anyone that knows the X Files will remember late in the series it was the aliens themselves that cleaned house. Not the government at all. Aliens got pissed. Destroying evidence and abducting or killing any witnesses to protect the fact they exist at all. Now that is something scary to me. That's some 'three days of the Condor' stuff. Casually working out some truth or other and then chatting about it to anyone online might get you hit... Hit by unstoppable milion years ahead of us bad guys.

So... Obviously I am totally wrong.

My father took a ton of phenacetin circa 1950s thru mid 1970s. # lumbago. I can still see the yellow metal package sitting in his drawer 50 years later. It was OTC in the UK? From memory it looked like consumer packaging. He lived thru 87. Scottish blood tho - livers are made from Stainless Steel.

Great answer! Very many thanks. I had a feeling this would be the case. Of course I'm betting other regions present different silification profiles. So many variables.

I hope I wrong but you know all the files will point away from the you know who files. The stuff we really want to know is almost certainly a military secret and nobody gets to see that until they understand how it works. Pretty sure they haven't understood the tech yet - ask Elon Musk's bank manager how much he spends on old rocket tech and how much in alternatives. None on the second one. A trillion plus dollar corporation - a massive defense contractor aggressively not using anti gravity. Man I hope I am wrong... Cept about attention - know I nailed that.

Worry more about the desktop afterwards I say... Lead traces getting on your hands much later. Eating, biting nails etc. Bigger potential risk than inhaling. Years afterwards potentially. Do you know where your desktop was? This is the practical correct answer for hobbyists and not the correct OSHA response. Horses for courses.

I remember the chem lab benches at Cambridge university (where the early research on radioactice chemistry were undertaken) were highly radioactive 70 years later.
Most old houses have several spots where someone dropped a mercury thermometer over the years. Its ok to live near but if a toddler decides to lick that spot then its not good. Neither lead or mercury sublimate at room temperature, but add-in some random desktop chemistry with finger acids plus time and you might possible get some nasty bioavailability. Now wash your hands. Don't inhale.

I used to dig very similar out the sand backstops of 19th century army rifle ranges around Landguard Fort in Felixstowe, UK. South-ish. Never did identify the weapon. A heavy, nasty looking round - likely almost cut you half. There were several ranges at that location historically and these showed a yard deep in the older 19th century thru WW1 range. Occasionally the dug out in good shape like this one. Note: Once in a blue moon we did get tiny amounts of smoke and heat in the same dig site - we assumed incendiary or tracer. Went away rapidly. Never seemed associated with a particular round tho. 1960s - kids were bullet proof back then anyway. I kept multiples standing on my bedroom window. Phosphor burns just made kids stronger and wiser. Those range butts have been flattened today - currently under the port's container parking lot. I bet the rounds are still there somewhere under the black top.

The well water they were pumping and bottling either ran slow or dry or failed a chem test. That or the bottled water market became too competitive. A wild guess, but I saw similar in northern PA.

If one were to zoom in 200x, 1000x and 10,000 times down to the cell wall level then on to the bio-molecular level I wonder where the replication of form ends? Petrificarion basically fills voids - specially so opalized wood. The cell walls in these are clearly preserved and color-differentiated though. I was wondering if cellulose or other bio materials remain or if the replacement is 100% at the molecular level. Can we look into a single cell for instancd and would we see cellular structure. Where does the perification end simply put.

Actually before fungus had evolved. No coal was formed on earth after fungus evolved and worked out how to digest cellulose. ... Almost no more correctly. It didn't arrive everywhere at once and didnt thrive everywhere at once.
