I made a clock out of this last one. It was just half an Ammo, which you normally leave lying there, but I got an idea....stuck the 2 halves together after I'd cut and polished it and now I can tell geological time.

Thanks for the nice compliments everybody. :blush:

Steve. I hate to disappoint you, but actually I've got 2 left hands technically. It took me ages to get the clock to hang together properly. I'm always afraid that if anyone slams the door too hard, all my work would have been for nought. :P

Love that clock! Great job and thanks for sharing your skill with us.

Hi Tera,

Nice Ammonite. A friend of mine has some German Ammonites, but he doesn't collect them.

I will see if I can get some for you.

Have you seen the last Aporrhaid I got last weekend. I did add it already to my pictures.

regards,

Han

These are my only two ammonites (among some other stuff). I think they are of quite a good quality but I am not really into collecting them...As far as I was informed when purchasing them they are both from Madagascar.
