Linda,

I've been out of pocket lately and was going through some of the Conch-L
digests when I saw your note.  I hope this isn't a repeat of what
someone else shared.  The AmConch section of Conch-Net has a couple
articles that might help:

What's eating my shells?    http://coa.acnatsci.org/conchnet/bynes.html
Fighting Byne's disease.    http://coa.acnatsci.org/conchnet/bynes2.html

Till later,

Debbie Wills

Hi Again,
     Will someone please tll me what Byne's disease is.  I was under the
mistaken idea that it was that which occurs on shells if stored in oak
wood.

                Thanks,
