Explain your conclusion with the 400 million year old date...

Nobody was allowed to take anything from the location and the government tried their best to make sure of that no one did...

Must be time for the Smithsonian to start expanding their 'collection' again.
Sounds just like the kind of discoveries they might be looking for...

The oil rig had drilled 150ft into a cavern. We sent a camera into the well to see if it was possible to continue drilling. What the camera saw was what I told you. We then replaced the small drill pipe with a larger one. A three man team equipped with oxygen tanks & flashlights were lowered into the cavern via the pipe.
The cavern is said to connect to the one in Carlsbad NM and beyond. I remember one of the men joked about having found a reichsmark.

I didn't think your average rig drilled a bore anywhere near big enough to put people through 400 feet down.

You never heard of "big" oil? They're drilling for really big oil.

The largest diameter well I have ever heard of was about 10".

They must have been tremendously skinny men, with very tiny flashlights. The largest drill pipes are only about 15 inches across... Folks can independently confirm what I say by checking oil company drilling rig specs and by looking at the Wikipedia pages.

If this were a credibility contest, the OP easily beats all of you hands down.

I have worked in the oilfields of West Texas for decades. The largest diameter well I have ever heard of was about 10". The Haliburton Red Book only goes up to 20" diameter. The fossil has two holes in it and I have found sea shells at the beach with very similar holes that I doubt were made by humans. I'm not a geologist but have over 30 hrs of college level geology classes and a BS degree. This story does not make sense. Where exactly was this location and what company would send men into a cavern? How could it be determined that it was connected to caverns in New Mexico?
