Yeah..Queen "pink" Conch.
Those thick ones were from the body not the lip.
That's an awesome example of a heavily used tool right there Tom.
Thick! Sucka!
I've seen a few dugouts.. I wonder if they applied layers of coals several times during manufacturing.
I wish I found as many whelk tools as you over there. There just doesn't seem to have been as many here.
