Well, John, it depends on what you mean by "... didn't find much." Perhaps you didn't find the article about a living example of a "nucleus-granulata" 'throwback' that is in the Archive Site of THE CAPTURED COWRY. I submitted the article after finding a living specimen (video taped, too!) on a night dive. You'll find the item at http://www.geocities.com/~makuabob/NSN369CY.HTM#B An image of the living, extended "nucleus-granulata" animal is in my CAPTURED COWRY site at http://www.oaktree.net/makuabob/TAXONOM0.HTM The original color images have replaced the monochromatic versions actually published. Additionally, I've included, near the end of the article, a "3D-stereo" set of images of the two cowries. It's a chance to put to use all the practice gained by trying to 'see' the "3-D" images in the Sunday comics. Happy hunting!
