Dr. Baldomero Oliver at U. Utah, who is known world-wide for his work on
Conus venum is now doing venom research on Turrids. He desires
specimens of Turrids preserved in alcohol for the venom. Additionally,
he is doing DNA studies of the Turrids to try to make improvements in
the taxonomy. If you can supply specimens it would be appreciated.
You can contact him at <[log in to unmask]>
Thanks.
