That may well be, but nowhere in the craigslist ad does it say that
this IS a Cave formation and came from a cave.
"We" do not know if it is a cave formation. Sure it looks like it
could be, but I have seen just this sort of "rock" in rivers, dry
stream beds, even empty pastures, and also behind the utility
trenchers in places like Round Rock subdivisions and road cuts, and
old quarries.
If y'all feel it's fine to judge/condemn the seller without knowing
for sure if it is even from a cave, then feel free to get the lynch
mob together (even if just to tattle on the seller to Craigslist) Gary
lives only 4 miles away from ya (Barlow Dr to N. Stone St per Google
Maps).....

Regardless of what state they came from, you need documentation.

Unless you can PROVE that this was removed from a TEXAS cave without the

Bad taste for selling them maybe, but with out contacting the seller and
asking were they got them from, no sign of wrong doing.
These "formations" MAY have come from a quarry and where the "cave" was is
now just air.
It may have come from a cave the seller owns, or that the seller has the
owners permission to "mine".
It may even have been removed by a "digger" trying to get to more cave
passage.
It may (most likely) also be from a shipment of "specimens" sent to the USoA
for resale from a foreign country (not just some foreign state like
NM,Ok,Ar,...etc.)
