Sell it on ebay and see how much you get for it.

Pretty cool rock find.

What an interesting find you have. I'm impressed you took the time to send it to experts to analyze it.

To my eyes, on first seeing it, my impression was of a piece of fossilized bone. Just the shape and texture, and my own active imagination.

TY for sharing it with us

its probably a 100000 year old alien smart bomb waiting for some human to cut it up and release hell upon us!

More than likely, what you have there is an agate with inclusions. The filaments you are calling bacteria is probably oxide crystal filaments or impurities which "grew" in the silica rich gel of the agate during it's formation. This type of agate is known as moss agate or plume agate. The inclusions could also be Sagenite or Rutile. If it's Rutile needles than what you have is Rutiliated quartz and I would be interested in buying it if you want to sell....

Agate is merely a form of Chalcedony - macro crystaline quartz.

I'm calling BS on the the Geology lab report unless you can produce the report itself.

ETA: Funny how your list of organic compunds exactly matches the description of Carbonaceous Chondrites meteorites. Like a copy and paste job....

The CM meteorite Murchison has been found to contain more than 70 extraterrestrial amino acids and several other classes of compounds including carboxylic acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids, sulphonic and phosphonic acids, aliphatic, aromatic and polar hydrocarbons, fullerenes, heterocycles as well as carbonyl compounds, alcohols, amines and amides.

The rock in your video looks translucent, not opaque. Carbonaceous Chondrites are opaque not translucent.

how much does a mineral lab report cost?

was it a university lab or another private firm

I would have to agree with this. I have been a rock hound for years and I have many many pieces of moss agate, some polished some rough and from what you described plus the images shown in your video I would say more likely than not that what you have there is a good specimen of moss agate. It does not look meteoric.

I would also love to see the lab report.

Very cool! Also good to meet a fellow rock hound. Added you as a friend.
