Until now I've stayed out of this descussion...My two cents for whats its
worth.....In Dr Petuch's defense(Since he's not online to reply) is a very
good friend of mine and  has done alot to help sort out the myrid of fossil
shells we collect in South Florida.....We have a wealth of specimens down
here and many That I find every week are not named....Its amazing but as many
that have names there appears to be almost as many that do not......Sometimes
it gets overwelming with the thought of how much work needs to be done on
South Florida shell fossils....Thankgoodness we have  an expert of Dr.
Petuch's caliber working on them....I personally don't care what he names
them as long as they get described !!!!! Its easy to critize what others do
but where are the "experts" when we need help in proper identification or for
that matter in getting the specimens named ?????  Its easy too sit back and
take potshots at those who do the actual work...Its something else too
actually do the work....For every author out there doing the actual work of
describing new species GODBLESS and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK as your efforts are
greatly admired by novice such as I....AND my personal opinion is too NAME
THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT but please NAME THEM !!!!!!!       Humbly submitted
