Michael,
Some books that might prove useful in identifying shells from the Red
Sea region include
Oliver, 1992. Bivalves of the Red Sea
Bosch, Dance, Moolenbeek, and Oliver, ?1997. Seashells of Eastern Arabia
Kirtisinghe, 1978. Sea Shells of Sri Lanka
Spry, 1964/1968. The Sea Shells of Dar es Salaam, Part 1 & 2.
These books deal with shels from the western region of the Indian Ocean.
Hope this info is helpfull.
Charlie
