I am new to this mail-type forum - bear with me!!  I am an Atlanta native,
have been a collector since age 8; currently plan all family vacations around
shelling; as a volunteer in my children's elementary school, have sponsored a
collection for the school and provided and teach a supplemental science unit
on mollusks and shells, conservation, research and protection, etc.  In
addition to my existing collection, seeking sand and soil samples from
anywhere world-over.
 
Also, seeking information on the AFRICAN SEA BEAN.  Thanks for any
information anyone may be able to provide.
