PFOOLEY Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So, I had this ammonite...I took it to a local rock shop to have thirds taken off of it. I went to pick it up and was blown away... ...AMAZING! (that's me, fistbumping myself for the thought of it. )...just wanted to share. "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

Ludwigia Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Now that is cool and also original! Instead of having it cut straight through the middle, you've kept the inner whorls intact. Looks great! Edited May 20, 2015 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wow, I am impressed. Now I am tempted to do that to some of the ones you sent me. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
