Don't know if there a fossil Bill could be look like it don't they. but they are geodes I believe at least they look like it. chilly knows more about them.

They are ammonite fossils. An extinct Mollusc:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea

Geodes are a geological formation of hollow rock shell with crystal formations lining the inside.

Twilight Fenrir right you are and i went back and it turns out that is what Chilly said they were to missed that I guess. I think the chambers through me off. They are cool.

Twilight is correct. They are two halves of an ammonite fossil that has been cut in two and polished.

They come from Morocco. My other hobby, that turned into a business, is rocks and minerals. It is also partly where my nic came from. My company is named Chill Zone Minerals (a metamorphic term I picked up in a college geology class.)

My daughter, at U Penn right now for her MS in Geology, would go bonkers for those.  She's easy at Christmas, we just give her rocks!

Fossils, chambered nautilus to be exact.  Not a geode.

My bad guys sorry it took so long. Chilly PM me to let me know he is still putting my package together. Looking forward to that, and will post pics of it when it comes as I promised him I would.

Now for my offering, it is not much, but I hope someone wants it. It is a Proto Professional 5449 1/2 ratchet. I hope one of you guys would give it a nice home. I cleaned and lubed it, it's ready to go to work. Any takers.

Well if we are done talking about fossils, just kidding they are cool thanks again Chilly. My ratchet is still up for grabs, any takers.

Bump.  Momentum seems to have gotten lost on this thread again.

Thanks Bill for the bump. Thought someone would have snatched my Proto rat right up, will see.

Well, if no one bites, maybe you should throw another tool in the ring.

I will take a look around see what I got.

So looked around, and found four Vlchek wrenches to offer. I don't collect much Vlchek tools, and I got these in a tool lot. So hoping they can  go to someone who needs them to complete a set or so.

One is a WBH2022 11/16x5/8 DBE wrench. One is a WBC1214 7/16x3/8 DBE wrench. One is a 19/32x1/2 DOE wrench, and one is a WBE12 3/8 combo wrench.

Bump! Don't let a good project die!

Since there are more members here lately I thought I'd get this going again. First I'll take it & a PM to me gets it.


I have the following : Craftsman mini ignition wrench set + an SK Electrolite  1/4 x 5/16 DOE & mini spanner wrench.
