Images taken by the author, of shells within the Royal Cornwall Museum collections. 13.11.11; from a shell within the author's collection and of a shell from a private collection in Cornwall. 13.06.12. The specimen in my own collection was purchased from Guido T. Poppe - Philippe Poppe, Conchology, Inc..

This species is commonly found in the Channel Islands but has been recorded many years ago from Falmouth.

The lowest three images on this page are, by agreement, copyright the Royal Institution of Cornwall.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
