Hi Chandrashekhar
I tried to reply to your message directly but was bounces (see
forwarded message at bottom)... hopefully you will see it here on the
Conch-L list!
By all means send the images. I am always interested and happy to
help, or at least to try. I would also be interested to see images of
the possible sinistral Turbinella specimens.
I would greatly like to obtain a sinistral specimen of the Indian
chank (Valampuri)!
Conch is a name that is very often misused. Strictly speaking it is
any member of the family Strombidae. Whelks are in Buccinidae; chanks
are in Turbinellidae, a family "between" Buccinidae and Volutidae in
characters. I assume that by "conch" you mean large gastropods?
