Dear Conchlers,

I've got a request concerning German names for two Florida shells. For a
better translation and to know better
which species they should be, I would need the scientific name, as I only
got the common names in
English

cat's paw
sunrise venus

I could imagine what maybe it is. The cat's paw maybe a clam, sunrise venus
maybe a Veneridae of genus
Venerupis or Paphia.

Please send me information.

with best shelling greetings
Helmut
