Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry for help identifying shells for
our mini shell show. As a way of explanation, it is not a show for small
shells, but a very small, popular-vote, informal show.
The Polygyra cereolus won a 2nd place ribbon. I entered it in the category
"Most Unusual Beach Find." The 20 MM brass shell casing dated 1942 that my
husband found on the beach and I entered for him, won the 1st place ribbon
in that category.
I entered the Crassispira leucocyma and the Engina turbinella (under my
husband's name) in the "Best Small Specimen". The Engina won a 1st and the
Crassispira won a third. The turrid was no more than fly speck and how
Andrew Vik identified it from my scan is still a mystery. I could barely
see it with a magnifying glass.
Thanks to all. Just thought you would like to know how it turned out.
