Hello Conch-L Members I am a fairly new enjoyer of shells. I went to the Astronaut Trail Shell Show two years ago and was agog over all the beautiful shells I'd never had any idea existed. I joined the club, and now am having a very hard time remembering any latin names for shells. I'm trying, though. I've recently been able to collect a few live specimens in the South East Florida area. I've found many olives and fighting conchs (forgive the common names). On a recent trip I even found a hairy triton and a hawkswing conch. I'm looking forward to learning about shells from around the world, their habitats and their care. I'm also looking forward to corresponding with anyone on Conch-L as I've enjoyed all the people I've met connected with shelling. Happy Trails, Laura _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
