That is the best set of preforms on the planet.
Plus 1 Cretaceous !! Such a cool and unique set.
Making some really cool, caveman branded jewelry?
Will sell like crazy.

DIck is headed for the Denver show isn't he? Must be close to leaving.
Bet he loves checking out all the rock and fossils from the other exhibitors and seeing old friends.
Neat,material Mike.

Between oilfield and rock talk hope I get to more than just his booth. Look forward to meeting the older generation and learning some important life facts and realities.

I've loved them since I was a kid! Congratulations on the experimenting! Very exciting! Was going through my shop yesterday,thinking I had more ammonites that I could slice.. "BINGO" ,I found them in a bucket under other rocks....Those should last me,for a long time... Just stabilized a few yesterday,ready for slicing.... Were do you live? There usually are fossils in most states....Easy to get to and fun to collect... |
