Shells and their names:
    Cypraea Clandestina:
    This shell was actually a romantic keepsake given to Carlolus
Linneaus (you can call me "Linne") by a Swedish cortesan named Erosa
Helvola. It was named to comemorate the illicit nature of their meetings
necessitated  by the jealous nature of Madame (Call me Madame) Linnaeus.
