Dear Conch-lers, a friend of mine gave me a fossil shell from the Pliocene of Italy, Certaldo, Firenze. A label accompanying it said that it is a Strombus coronatus. No author was given! Is there a Strombus-expert out there who knows who named this species first and in which paper or book it was published? I am looking foward to a response Marco _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
