Folks,
Much has been written on this list regarding the use of chlorine bleach
to clean shells. I was reading some older books and they cautioned that
the use of chlorine bleach to clean shells could destroy the protoconchs
of gastropods. Does anyone have furhter information to support or refute
this claim?
Regards,
Charlie
