Congratulations to our "What Is It?" Contest Winner! This object is an oil drilling bit from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. A drill bit is the end of the drill that actually cuts up the rock. It comes in many shapes and materials (such as tungsten carbide steel and diamond) that are specialized for various drilling tasks and rock formations. What would you have guessed? |
