John, you asked about "baby shells". It just so happens that I picked up
an egg casing yesterday morning and it does have "babies". I will be
taking it to the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum when I docent and lecture
tomorrow but I will send you some if you like. I also picked up an egg
casing from a Facasciolaria tulipa that has pretty brown babies. I would
be willing to share them if you like.
