The GA shell club had an exhibit up in Atlanta - one of the subunits was
molluscs and man. The text (no graphics yet) is at:
http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/GSC/newsletr/JUN97.html . Most of the information
came from Tucker Abbotts book. We also have instructions on how to make an
origami snail at: http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/rainforest/origamisnail.html
(this is a simple design - there are several very complex origami mollusc
patterns).
