An Intoduction To Shell Collecting
With 50, 000 differernt kinds of shells (ie, seashells and land and tree snails) , many with dozens or even hundreds of color and pattern combinations to find and enjoy, shell collecting offers a little something for anyone interested in the beauty, variety, or the remarkable richness of the Natural World in general. Although you will encounter a lot of Latin names, measurements in millimetres, and unfamailiar terms such as "columella" (the lower part of the inner lip of a shell) , and "operculum" (the "trap door" that the animal who built the shell used to keep out predators who want to eat them) , you most certainly don't have to be a scientist to marvel at the huge variety of shapes, patterns, colors and intricate details that the "Shell World" offers.
On this portion of the site, which we will hopefully be developing "soon" we will give an introduction to the ancient (shells have been found in Egyptian tombs! ! ) , and exiting hobby of Conchology, or Shell Collecting. Meanwhile, we offer affordable "beginner's kits" which will consist of a good variety of shells of different kinds, and a book which will help you identify most of the more common seashells. The kits come in three flavors: 1) Regular: $50, which will include enough shells of various kinds to tantalize one for certain, 2) Enhanced: $100, which will include a much better variety of species and families, and 3) Deluxe: $200, which will give you at least one of the "classic rarities", and a nice variety of shell-critters.
It seems unwise to re-invent the wheel (although i should have a FEW more links on the topic! ! ) , so why not visit the "About. Com" site's collection of Conchological pages, which include articles on seashells, shell collecting, organizing and displaying your collection, fun things to do with seashells, and other great stuff! (but don't forget to come back here! ! ) If you want to find out more about the animals that build these wonders of nature-the Molluscs-you can visit the site Man and Mollusc, for the full story! !
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to answer them! !
Meanwhile, please feel free to enjoy the other features of the site, such as the Space Shells Art Gallery, the Images Galleryof some of the more beautiful and interesting shells we have sold recently, or the Wierd and Fun Facts assemblage i like to putter around with. OR, why not jump right in with both feet and*buy*a few shells right now? ? (Worldwide List) . We accept a wide variety of payment methods, so this is pretty easy to do also.
So, here's hoping to hear from you one way or another! ! We'll get our own first Intoduction to Shell Collecting article up soon, so why not come back then and take a peek?
