I'm a little surprised by the answers on the three shells you would like to save
at the last minute, but maybe I'm just sentimental. The shells choosen seem to
be expensive, but replaceble. I know for which shells I would go, being the
irreplaceble. Right the shells which you collected your self or have special
memories about. So I would take the Anomia which I collected when I was 5 years
old and on holiday in Spain (was surprised when my parents told me that it were
shells and not peaces of glass, the first epitonium clathrus I found on a Dutch
beach (never thought that something beatiful like that could be found on the
Dutch beach) and the first Oliva I collected on a holiday in the Caribean. That
are for me the really irreplacable shells.
