Dear Art, Dear Ross
 
Don't forget the microshells. There are real beauties in the different
families, Rissoidae (Manzonia crassa, etc.), Mathildidae, Turridae.
These shells are not only beauties for their color, but for their structure.
Many of such structures or different forms in other shells are exquisite.
Think on this.
