> 1. Where are the most famous museum or university collections?
      Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt
      Natural History Museum Vienna
      Natural History Museum London
      Museum in Sidney
      the Americans should tell where are the most important museums there

> 2. What are the rarest microshells and the rarest macroshells?
      this is a request not to be answered as it is impossible

> 3.When you go collecting, how many shells worth keeping are you likely to
> find in a day?
   it is depending on land- or marine shells and where or what you like
collect.
   In some places you might find over 100 species a day, whe you also count
the
   micros

> 4. How quickly have beaches gone from rich in good shells to poor in good
> shells, and do they ever make a comeback?
> 5. Is there a way to determine accurately how old a shell is when you find
> it, how many years ago it was created?
> 6. What shell websites are most worth seeing, rich in images and accurate
> information?

> Thanks,
