Hello!
The Molluscs Net website owned and operated by Mr. Bret Raines
has a section/index called "What Is It?" to perform this "Help with ID"
function via photos and associated info. It is a great service but again
it is only as good as the "Visit by Experts" frequency. If particular
experts in Fam, Genus, Species do not visit the site and contribute
to the ID function then its usefulness becomes limited.
The URL for the sites index/directory is;
http://www.molluscs.net/index2.htm
Punch the What Is It button and see some requested ID's.
Later,
