Dear Mr. Lopéz,

Ask Mr. Titselaar,  [log in to unmask]  , an expert on Patellidae (currently
working on a revision of the European species). At this moment he's on
holiday (for about the next three to four weeks.
I'll reply to your Strombus note later this weekend.

Kind regards, Gijs C. Kronenberg

Hi to all friends:

I'm a new suscriber to Conch-L. The last week I´ve reading the messagges
and I´m taking interesting notes about the families.I must to say that I'm
an amateur collector but I'm trying to learn some more about the families I
like.
Today I would like to make a question about a Patella that I received from
Thakoradi in Ghana (West Africa).It was taken in rocks at low tide. The
shells are bright greyish inside with wide radial lines brown and white
similar to Patella rustica.The impression is orange.The upper side is
brownish with an anterior apex (about 1/3 of the total lenght). It's not a
high shell but very flattened.
Could anyone help me with the classification? Thank you
