yes Pall, Henk's reference is the best. Unfortunately it seems Ruth Turner has
passed away recently and she was referred to as the best authority on these
molluscs.For your region I also recommend;
Tebble N. 1976: British bivalve seashells. an HMSO publication.
Abbot Tucker R., American seashells.
Munari Lorenzo 1974: Contributo alla conoscenza dei Teredinidae nel
Mediterraneo.
