Tom,
        It's me, Dan Yoshimoto (The Pest) again.  Are you makinga list of
fossil Xenophora?  If so, when you visit Eureka, I'll give you the name and
address of a man in Italy that has fossil xenophora for trade.  I received
2 nice xenophora crispa.  I too am interested in xenophora and it is said
that a new improved xenophora book is in the works.  I shall wait and see.
See you in a few weeks.
Dan
