Dear Tom,

thank you best for the image.
In the next days I look for other specimens of Cepaea hortensis.
If I find some specimens, would you like a few.
with best regards
Helmut

Helmut,

I found images on both Eddy Hardy's site and George Sangiouloglou's site.
They are the same image, Eddy used George's picture.  The shell looks like
Conus armadillo/Conus duplicatus.  I'll send you the image privately and you
can find the two web pages below.
