Dear Conchlers,

Please guess. Last week I had a guide through the shell collection of the
museum. There were
about 15 persons, 7 adults and their children. The persons were most
interested to the shell collection
and for the children it was funny to take shells in their hands.
I was able to present all the landshells, freshwater and marin shells (as
well Mediterranean shells and
exotic ones. I call exotic that for the moment, which are not from the Med
or Atlantic or the Northern
Atlantic). Which shell - so you can guess - were the most fascinating to
the public. What do you
believe (please name a species) which species the majority of the visitors
loved most of them.
with best shelling greetings
Helmut
