This may seem like a rather naive question, and i already have a few
inkings  regarding possible answers, but i would like to pass it on to
the list, since there are many who are much more well versed in such
maters, and i enjoy learning from them!!!

"Why is it that mollusc radulae are incredibly useful for taxonomic
differentiation in some families such as Turridae, while in other
families such as Buccinidae, often so variable as to be semi-useless for
taxonomic purposes?"

A lot of my postings recieve few responses for some reason, but i hope
those "in the know" regarding this issue, will at least briefly reply to
the list: it is an interesting topic, i think.

 From Sunny, Warm (at least until tomorrow, so i hear...) New Scotland,
Ross Mayhew.
