My Uncle Richard and Cousin Randy came up with this idea to cut the busted Ammonites and make cabs out of them...We usually cut horizontally with them,but now they just slice them like meat..(I'm liking this style....)
Uncle gave me a few to try out and I have lots of busted Ammonites! LOL

God,family and life.....

I've only cut one so far and missed the inner chambers so it's very blah. If those are sturdy enough to polish they'd make awesome pendants.

Those are amazing. The "look" is very unique for sure. The first thing I thought of was a replica arrowhead/spear pendant. Giving me great ideas for fossil corals when I finally get a saw and can cut all of these things I am finding.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
