As Eduardo points out, messages are light on Conch-L, so here is a brief,
shell-related song that I used to sing while writing a term paper on fossil
kelp scallops from the Western U.S. (Leptopecten). The tune is "Camptown
Races."

Camptonectes striation,
Pecten! pecten!
Camptonectes striation,
Pectinidae.
Gonna read all night,
Gonna write all day,
I'll bet my money on a Leptopec-
Ten; maybe I'll get an "A".

Bill Evitt gave me an A despite the song.
