Mary,
Your request was not off topic - and sooner or later should be a topic of
interest to everyone who has a shell collection.  Please feel free to ask
questions like this on Conch-L again.  The sharing of information is what
this list is all about!
Conch-l subscribers have a wealth of information to share and usually are
more than willing to help each other.  The fine nature of our subscribers
has almost always made conch-l a wonderful list to be a member of.
