For all you Ranellidae collectors who were thrilled to read Russ Webb's
account of collecting the seventh known to science specimen of this
very rare species (March 1998 American Conchologist), it has now come
to light that an eighth specimen has also recently been collected - quite
possibly the largest in existence.
 
Images of this specimen (as well as three of the other eight known
specimens including the Holotype) are available for viewing at:
