Dear Eddie,
That's the name that came with the shell. I know it's just a form and I
should have said so. I'ts very dark with dark spots. Thanks for
sharing this information. You're the rare one that really cares. I
need to be straightened out if I'm wrong. I'm sure I have more
mistakes. It's hard to keep up.
