Hi Mique,
  Where did you get the ultraviolet ink. I looked and looked and couldn't
find it. I thought it would have been a good idea for those shells that I
didn't want to lose.
      My way of numbering shells, and I think we went through this on the
list a while back, is to put a small smear of whiteout along an inconspicuous
place and write the number on it with a fine uniball pen.
  I think in the last discussion it was determined that some type of white
paint could also be used.  With a small wipe of solvent the numbering and
paint could be "erased."
  I also was asked to put this on line. When you were all discussing what
type of pen to use on rag paper that was to be immersed in alcohol I should
have mentioned that the Uni-ball Deluxe black ink pen does not run when used
with a rag based paper and immersed in alcohol. This is what is used at the
U. of Miami Marine Lab. I don't know about other countries but here in the
U.S. you can buy them in any office supply store.
