In regards to wampum
 
Dentalium were used in making strings of wampum on the west coast of U.S. I
also believe that Oliva were either mixed in with Dentalium or clam wampum
strings. I have not seen or heard of a pure Oliva string.  If anyone is
interested in seeing a string of Dentalium or clam shell wampum give me a
message and I will forward a scanned photo of what we have in our
collection.
