Hello All. I've been seeing an increased frequency of Carinaria cristata being offered from Madagascar, a shell I rarely saw offered before(although to date I seem to be outbid in my attempts to purchase one). Can anyone enlighten me as to why this shell, a deep water heteropod, has suddenly become more frequent? Thanks.
