Peoples choice---now that's not a bad idea! Look. Instead of trying to
find THE most beatiful shell, why not try to make a list of the HUNDRED
most beatiful shells? Would those include past "Shell of Show" awards?
This way, I'm prety sure my O. rubrolabiata would be included; the
gloria-maris for form and design, a couple of latiaxis, the E. scalare
that everyone likes to use at the top of their stationary, and a few
etc.s.
A special catagory for shell-less critters. Ever see a "Spanish
Dancer"? Incredible!
