Gilsonite is thickened oil, jet is pet wood.

i believe Utah's Jet was formed when the Upheaval Asteroid/comet hit and all the vanadium-uranium mines came into being. The Happy Jack mine found radioactive burned petrified wood - Jet!

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
