These photos are marvellous. More than that - they're very informative indeed. Most of the 'shells' we see in photographs are just that, dead skeletons of wonderful molluscs. Most of these photos are of live molluscs actually doing something. I am not (to say the least) much interested in Sibero-American shells, but I happened across this message - and learned more about my classic Indo-Pacific shellfish's private lives than I could imagine Highly recommended regards Richard PS Thanks a lot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
