please help confirm identities of these shells
Hi Dave,

After comparing a number of additional specimens of palmarosae, microphyllus and torrefactus, I believe you are right.  Sometimes I forget that palmarosae from the eastern end of the range are less ornate than those from the western regions, which makes them superficially similar in appearance to microphyllus/torrefactus.  Incidentally, do you consider torrefactus a good species?

Paul
