Hi Ross,
Of course I can't speak for other people, but personally I'm interested in
"Dutch" shells primarily. Since we don't have any flashy taxa down here, I'm
automaticaly interested in the moor "poor" shells. I'm also interested in
Littorinids, not so flashy as well. I'd also like to know what others in
this region do collect.
