Dear Marlo,

I take 26 years collecting shells , i possibly have some that i bet you have never seen or you´ll see at your life time .
I have never expended a fortune for a shell and i even self collected an albino form of Voluta musica , wich no catalogue has a price for it . It is called Voluta musica forma damula ; a fresh dead and extremely rare one .

So, as you see i am used to every kind of shells but my interests are mostly in Muricidae and Volutidae.

26 years are not the same as 26 days, and i take this too much seriously to waste my time in nonsense dialogs.


I am a professional marine biologist who interests about data ( size ; habitat )  and this it is an important feature.

If you want to talk about shells , be my guest . Maybe we have something to learn with each other , who knows ?
