I think the strangest place I have ever found one of my treasures was in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. I used them for collecting in the field, and I had placed a live moon snail in my pocket and forgot all about it. Weeks later, after the jeans had gone through the wash several times, I found the tiny moon, the animal dried inside, and, amazingly, it bore no odor! Kindest Regards, James
