I must agree with Helmut - Microshells may be small in stature, but are
often Mighty in the sheer beauty of their forms, and in the case of the
many mini-Mitrella i see in the tiny PI stuff i like to sort through so
much, the patterns are often Awesome!!  Mini and micro-Turrids have to
be the champions for form, and in a few spp, sculpture - and there a so
many of them that the variety is a fabulous treat in itself.  If These
chaps were a bit bigger, i guarantee that those shiny, egg-shaped things
i sell so many of, would "exit, stage right" as the most-desired gang in
the shell-world!.
 
P.S.:  Congrats to Paul Drez for the "Olividae 101" on-line course!
 
Mad about Micros,
Ross.
