My name is Carol Adamson and I am a Secondary Honors Biology and Botany
Instructor at the Academy of Mathematics, Science and Technology in Las Vegas,
Nevada.  I have been collecting shells (living in the desert makes it mostly a
-buying shells) for the last several years.  As some of you may know-I
recently sent a message out to create teacher collections, so that I may train
more teachers in Las Vegas to share the wonderful world of Mollusca with their
students.  In the last three days I have been amazed at the incredible
generosity, time and information I have received from fellow shell
enthusiasts.  I would like to publicly thank you.
Sincerely,
Carol  aka..I'm just getting started!  But I do love taxonomy and classifying
shells.   I find this to be fabulous.  My students were thrilled and amazed as
well.
