Paul,
So sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his family and the Dept.
Martin is one of the most interesting people and malacologists I’ve met.
He is still one of the first examples I give to people when I explain that much of malacological research is done by amateur scientists. Who could come up with a better Philadelphia character than a PhD mathematician and amateur shell collector who goes on expeditions with the Paris Museum, and funds it all by building heated driveways for people on the main line?
It was a pleasure to chat with him whenever he visited the ANSP.

Friends,
I regret to report the death on February 11 of Dr. Martin A. Snyder. Marty was an expert on the Fasciolariidae and had published widely on the family since the 1980s, mostly in collaboration with others. He had already donated his collection to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where he was a long-standing Research Associate.
