Dear Conch-L ers,
I have had a question from someone and thought I would refer to higher powers
than my own knowledge.
  I was giving a program on fluorescence in mollusks and was asked if any
mollusks are known to chemiluminesce. In other words, glow without any
interference from man. Is there any one out there in conch-l land who knows
this? Also, for those of you keeping lists of shells that fluoresce, add
Dentalium aprinum to the list. It glows a really beautiful red under U.V.
   Thanks,
       Carole Marshall
