Hello Roland,
yes, I've seen that one, and I can tell you it was a Bullia species, I
believe the Bullia rhodostoma, Reeve 1847 .
I can recall, that a friend of mine was in the year of 1984 in South Africa
, and he told me the best way to catch those Bullia 's was to throw a line
with a chicken bone on the shore line and they would come to the chicken
bone and , if you were quick enough catch those beautiful shells .
Regards , Jan Neefs

> Hi Folks,
> Has anyone else watched "Blue Planet" on television on the U.S. Discovery
Channel? It is a wonderful series and has some molluscan episodes. I didn't
know Alaskan grizzly bears go down to the shore on low tide and eat clams.
It looked like they were eating razor clams, Siliqua patula.
> There was also a wonderful episode where some South African carrion-eating
snails would "surf" their way to a dead fish on shore. Anyone know what
these were?
