A238 North American
Seashells
This is, by far, the most comprehensive and complete poster on
seashells ever published. Magnificent illustrations accurately
portray 140 specimens, all accompanied by captions citing common
name, biological name, size and where they are found. There are over
100,000 mollusks, so extensive research went into selecting the
species to be shown. They include representatives from all major
biological groups. Special care was taken to show the most common
shells - the ones often found on American beaches - and those widely
available in shell and souvenir shops. Often the only difference
between species is color and the design pattern. Thus this poster is
also very helpful in identifying species that are not shown. This is
a truly beautiful poster that makes a handsome addition to any
decor. It also provides an easy way for the novice collector to
quickly identify the results of his beachcombing. |
