Dear John, You said you would send my Pleurotomaria reticulata about 4 weeks ago, and I still have not received it. I do not think you are cheating me; it may be something with the mail, but all other packages to me from all over the world came through fine. Kind Regards James P.S. Dear all, I was accessing my e-mail from a different computer up north, and I am afraid I lost the replies to the advice on how to get fossils out of the matrix. Can anyone help? ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
