Dear Conch-Lers,

I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new web site showcasing my personal
shell collection.  I have several more pictures to upload, and I plan to make
substantial updates on a monthly basis as the collection grows.  My focus is
Conidae from the Western Atlantic and Caribbean provinces (as you will see).  I
make no claims to taxonomical accuracy although I do try my best to keep
up-to-date with recent nomenclature.  I have also attempted to arrange my
collection in genus/subgenus groups so species that I believe to be closely
related are spatially near each other.  I welcome any feedback and guidance that
you may offer as this e-showcase evolves--an no doubt it will.

Note: There are some names I use in isolation that are more commonly paired with
other species.  For example, I have C. carioca instead of C. sanderi or C.
sanderi f. carioca.  Although carioca may be a southern population of sanderi, I
leave the i.d. distinct.  In these cases I do not have enough evidence to lump
or split.

Regardless of the ordering and ids, I hope you enjoy the photos of these natural
works of art!
