Thanks to Avril Bourquin for a very interesting topic: toys from shells.

I think that some examples (e.g., dolls made from scallops and other
shells) may be in Myra Keen's humorous exhibit, "Uses and Abuses of
Shells," at the Department of Geology, Stanford University. She had
collected two cases of shell crafts, some of them kitschy, others real
works of art. She left it to the visitor to decide which was which.

Does anyone know what has become of this exhibit (which I last saw in
1975)?
