Hi,  Conchlers, and NO, this is not another Pecten question; I guess you're getting tired of those!
        Can anyone give me the current name for Xenophora  (The Compendium calls it "Tugurium caribaeum"  (Petit, 1856)?  I had a bunch of these from the days gone by of bought, unsorted dregings; and I don't know what became of them.  But I got another one at last night's club meeting, courtesy of someone who has saved everything from her bucket(s) that we bought from Blacks.  Unfortunately, It does not have the greenish tinge shown in the images that someone put up recently.  I must buy Rice's new value list; I need it for other shells too.

                        Thanks ahead of time,
                                        Linda
