A Vladivostok resident found a metal rack that looked like a part from a microscope. Scientists have determined its age - 300 million years.
The plot, which will be discussed, began more than routinely. A resident of Vladivostok Dmitry ordered coal for the winter. If someone else were in his place, perhaps all this coal would have been burned just as casually. But then, throwing fuel into the stove, the man noticed that something was pressed into one of the ordinary pieces of coal, in the shape of either a rod or a rail.
Deciding that he could not cope with this task himself, Dmitry called the famous seaside researcher of anomalous phenomena, biologist Valery Dvuzhilny. After examining the find, he suggested that a piece of petrified branch or ore mineral got into the coal. But is it? It was agreed that partial processing of the rod and taking of microsamples for analysis is necessary.
Carefully breaking a piece, a rod of irregular shape was removed from it, just over 7 centimeters long, all covered with stuck black coal. After control grinding, a silvery metal was found under the scale. It was not magnetic, it was soft and light. The most interesting thing was that when cleaning the rod, the teeth and the pitch-spacing between them were exposed. The find was very much like a toothed metal rack, created artificially. All of this was reminiscent of parts often used in microscopes, various technical and radio electronic devices.
WHO LOST THE GEAR?
This coal was brought to Primorye from Khakassia, from the Chernogorsk deposit. The age of these coals is known - about 300 million years. So, the researchers asked the question, and the metal part pressed into it of the same old age ?! But who could, 300 million years ago, in the Carboniferous and prehistoric times, make a gear "spare part"?
The rail, partially deformed (by an explosion?), Had a strange cross-section - an irregular triangle with a shifted apex. The step between the teeth was also strange (there are only six of them, the rest are deformed) - unusually wide, absurd in relation to the size of the teeth themselves.

The answer to the question of what metal the rail is made of was given by an X-ray analysis carried out by Valery Dvuzhilny. It turned out that the find was made of very pure aluminum - with trace amounts of magnesium only 2 - 4 percent.
This in itself was surprising, because usually mankind rarely uses pure aluminum. Mainly alloys with manganese, silicon, copper. There are alloys with magnesium, but it is usually up to 10 percent, plus alloying additives from titanium, zirconium, beryllium. And this alloy did not resemble any of those used in our time!
Having found out the composition of the rod, we found the answer to the question of how the part could survive after millions of years: pure aluminum is covered with a strong oxide film, which prevents further corrosion. In addition, having got into coal, the prehistoric detail turned into "canned food", which was opened by man at the beginning of the 21st century in Khakassia. There was no oxygen access to the "canned food", and the rail did not collapse. In addition, notes Twin-core, the purest aluminum may indicate a high technology of its production.
Another discovery: it turned out that the material contains from 28 to 75 percent carbon.
- This should not have happened, - says Valery Dvuzhilny. - Since aluminum is produced by electrothermal method. This means that carbon could only get from coal due to diffusion into the crystal lattice of aluminum. The pressure of the layers was enormous. The presence of carbon is one hundred percent confirmation of the age of the part - 300 million years.
“A large amount of carbon is a very strange fact,” Igor Okunev, senior researcher at the St. Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics, supports his colleague. “After all, aluminum has an incredibly chemically resistant film on the air-metal interface. It is also strange that the rack resembles a gear element in its appearance, although due to the softness and high wear resistance of aluminum, it simply could not be used in this way.
This is how the mysterious detail might look if it had been preserved in its entirety (reconstruction).
- The most interesting, - continues the scientist, - is it ours, earthly, this aluminum? As far as science knows today, there is extraterrestrial aluminum-26, which decays into magnesium-26. Is it cosmic magnesium in a seaside find?
If a resident of Vladivostok really found a detail of extraterrestrial origin, then how did the so-called reiki get to Earth three hundred million years ago? It was left by aliens who studied the Earth long before Homo sapiens appeared on it? Or maybe this is the rarest artifact of the existence of the most ancient civilization of the Upper Carboniferous period on our planet?
- Such a find in coals was made for the first time in Russia, - says Valery Dvuzhilny. - So far, one thing is clear: the rail is an artificially created technical part with a huge age. It is completely ruled out that this is a modern detail that could allegedly have gotten in during explosions or from technology.

ROADSIDE PICNIC
Finding a strange artifact in coals is not an isolated case for our time. So, in 1912 in Oklahoma, an iron pot was removed from a piece of coal aged 312 million years. In 1974 in Romania, in the sandstones of a quarry at least 1 million years old, an aluminum part was found that resembled a hammer or a support for the landing leg of the Viking and Apollo spacecraft.

This seemingly ordinary iron pot has been in the ground for 312 million years.
But the oldest product was discovered in 1851 in Massachusetts during blasting operations in a quarry. This is a silver-zinc vase with the finest silver inlay in the shape of a vine. The age of this vase, judging by the rocks in which it was found, is 534 million years!

Finally, Valery Dvuzhilny himself, examining cores (rock samples) raised from a 9-meter depth while drilling the seabed to support the bridge to Russky Island, discovered pieces of special alloys of unusual composition “preserved” in prehistoric sandstones (age - 240 million years), which are definitely not used in drilling mechanisms and are not ore minerals. Alloys, says Two-core, were of artificial origin and manufactured by intelligent beings. What kind of accident happened within the boundaries of modern Vladivostok in the area of Cape Nazimov 240 million years ago? Or maybe the aliens simply "littered" here, as in the Strugatskys' novel "Roadside Picnic", and flew away safely - we will probably never know. Although … you never know what else we will find in the coal mines?

Forbidden Archeology
Strange finds recovered from the depths of mining operations feed several conspiracy theories at once. One by one, in the distant past - tens, or even hundreds of millions of years ago - aliens visited the Earth. According to another, our planet already had its own intelligent life. That is, there were civilizations that preceded ours. Therefore, objects that look like man-made are what remained either from the "newcomers" or from the "early" ones.
According to another theory, representatives of official science know about the artifacts, but they hide them. Because the finds really indicate that someone was on Earth before us. And this does not fit into the modern understanding of the world. As a result, there is the so-called forbidden archeology, in the secrets of which only a select few are devoted.
Skeptics naturally disagree with the conspirators. They are accused either of forging artifacts or of scientific ignorance, assuring that the appearance of even the most seemingly incredible finds can be explained by completely natural reasons. Without involving "newcomers" or "early adopters."
In the Fersman Mineralogical Museum (Moscow) "KP" showed bizarre gold ingots, as if assembled from regular rectangular figures. They looked like parts of some kind of mechanism. It turns out that similar metal items, including "carnations" and "chains", "grow" themselves just in the cracks of mineral layers. One long crack - you get a chain. The crack crosses another, smaller one, at a right angle - here you have a "nail head" or a more complex structure of the correct shape. But most often, inclusions of metals - from noble to rare earth - are found in coal. The aluminum rail may well be of the same breed.
Hammer? In some mines, mineral springs create a stone shell around any dropped object in a matter of weeks. Even petrified slippers are kept in museums.
Vase? Bucket? There is no complete certainty that these items actually exist. Many so-called artifacts are presented only in the form of descriptions or photos.
Where the truth is, of course, is unknown. It's like a UFO. Some say that these are aliens coming to us. Others do not believe in aliens or UFOs.
