Gene Everson's excellent fasciolariids are not displayed as an exhibit at
the museum. They constitute, however, the backbone of the Fasciolariidae
portion of our scientific collection (not interactive, unless you pinch
your fingers between a drawer and cabinet, etc.); in the fasciolariid
collection cases, almost every other specimen is accompanied by a label
neatly printed on pink stock, a trademark of that great exhibit put
together by Gene and kindly donated to the Shell Museum.
 
Best to all,
 
Jose
