David K, this reminds me of a James Bond movie. As Mr. Bond is chased at
high speed across a beautiful Mediterranean countryside, he dispatches the
car following him with some difficulty, only to have a helicopter hove into
view over the very next hill. And the pursuit continues. Poor David C, his
"To be done" list never gets shorter.

Or to express it another way, "So many shells, so little time."

Yes, that's me. Thanks so much, David.

Now, regarding Chesapecten jeffersonicus from North Carolina: do the two
valves have different numbers of ribs?

Some time ago, there was an inquiry about a fossil scallop from the Florida
panhandle.  I have the identification now, but can't find the question to
know who asked.  It is a specimen of Carolinapecten solarioides (Heilprin).
