The Theimages images show show the theitems items offered offered for for sale and these items are on display for your inspection prior to the auction. The COA recommends willthat, be ifa youwild areride bidding to Lot #104. on a particularHappy Bidding! item, you review the item on display carefully to assure that it meets your standards before bidding. The items in this year’s auction have been donated by twenty individuals with a majority coming from the Frederic Weiss collection received by COA in 2016. Each item listing will indicate the donor. Those that are not so indicated are from the Frederic Weiss Collection. Each item in this catalog is numbered and will be offered for sale in numerical order. The Auctioneer will present each item and either, open bidding with a minimum starting price, or ask for an opening bid from the audience. To place a bid, raise your bidding paddle and state your offer to the Auctioneer. The bid is accepted when the Auctioneer recognizes your offer and askes the audience for a higher bid. If no higher bid is received, the Auctioneer will close bidding on the item by striking his gavel on the podium. Once you have completed your bidding, the price for the items purchased must be paid to Mr. Coker, COA Treasurer, at the end of the auction. Mr. Coker’s location will be announced before the auction begins. If there is a question regarding bidding during the auction, the Auctioneer will have the final word on that decision. For example, if someone places a bid at the time the gavel is struck it will be the Auctioneer who decides if the bid arrived after the gavel was struck or if bidding should continue. A separate listing of the shells is also provided for your convenience. Both the auction booklet and the auction listing provide the name of the shells offered for sale as well as their size. Please note that the sizes provided are estimated sizes and, while the name of each specimen has been investigated and reported to the best of COA’s ability, it is up to the bidder to know what shell is being purchased. COA is not responsible for any shell that is improperly identified or if the size indicated is not accurate. All bidding is final. The initial selection of shells from the Frederic Weiss Collection was prepared by Donald Dan, obtaining additional shells for the verbal auction, listing, naming, measuring and ordering of the auction items was performed by Julian Lee and Marty Beals; editing of the listing was performed by Julian Lee, Leo Kempczenski, Marty Beals and Harry Lee; the verbal auction listing for the Auction pamphlet was prepared by Marty Beals and David Waller; photographing, labeling and bagging the verbal auction items was performed by David Berschauer, Leo Kempczenski and David B. Waller. The auctioneer for this event will be the illustrious Dr. Henry Chaney (“Hank”). The COA and the San Diego Shell Club are pleased that you are attending this convention and hope that you have enjoyed the presentations, field trips and Welcome party that preceded this event. We expect this will be an auction to remember. So we encourage you to order your favorite beverage, select a seat and hold on. The bidding begins at 7:00PM and it will be a wild ride to Lot #104.

  • Investigating the Behavior of the Invasive Marine Species the Japanese Oyster Drill (Ocinebrellus Inornatus): Food Preference, and Behaviour
    Investigating the behavior of the invasive marine species the Japanese Oyster Drill (Ocinebrellus inornatus): Food preference, and Behaviour First Draft Delta Academy December 21st 2018 Belma Colakovic INVESTIGATING THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE INVASIVE MARINE SPECIES THE JAPANESE OYSTER DRILL (OCINEBRELLUS INORNATIS), FOOD PREFERENCE AND BEHAVIOUR FIRST DRAFT Title: Investigating the behaviour of the invasive marine species the Japanese Oyster Drill (Ocinebrellus inornatus), food preference Subtitle: first draft Report type: first draft Date: December 21st 2018 Author: Belma Colakovic Approved by: Contact: Internship supervisor: Eva Hartog Institute: HZ University of Applied Sciences Version: First draft Status: PREFACE The basis behind this research is to gain a deeper insight into the still quite unknown yet very invasive marine species, Ocinebrellus inornatus, also known as the Japanese Oyster Drill. Ongoing research is continuously being conducted by the research group Aquaculture, under HZ University of Applied Sciences, which aims to understand their behaviour, physiology, phenology, nutrition, reproductive biology, and water tolerances, all of which are important factors in knowing how to cope with the impacts this species has on Oyster farming, the economy, and biodiversity. I would have not been able to accomplish this research without the help of a strong core research group. Firstly, my supervisor Eva Hartog, who has played a significant role throughout the research process, providing immense guidance along the way, and my research group colleagues. Thank you all for your unwavering support throughout the entire duration during this research. SUMMARY The Japanese Oyster Drill (Ocinebrellus inornatus) was first spotted off the coast of France in 1995, and has since then by means of transportation and importing of oysters has brought them into the Netherlands, being first spotted in Gorishoek in 2007.

  • Muricidae, from Palk Strait, Southeast Coast of India
    Nature Environment and Pollution Technology Vol. 8 No. 1 pp. 63-68 2009 An International Quarterly Scientific Journal Original Research Paper New Record of Muricanthus kuesterianus (Tapparone-Canefri, 1875) Family: Muricidae, from Palk Strait, Southeast Coast of India C. Stella and C. Raghunathan* Department of Oceanography and Coastal Area Studies, Alagappa University, Thondi-623 409, Ramnad district, Tamil Nadu, India *Zoological Survey of India, Andaman and Nicobar Regional Station, Haddo, Port Blair-744 102, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India Key Words: ABSTRACT Gastropoda The present study reported the occurrence of Muricanthus kuesterianus in the Palk Muricidae Strait region of southeast coast of India as a first hand record. The detailed description Muricanthus kuesterianus of this species has been given with the comparison of its close resembled species Chicoreus virgineus Chicoreus virgineus. INTRODUCTION Muricidae, the largest and varied taxonomic family among marine gastropods has small to large predatory sea snails in the Order Neogastropoda. At least 1,000 species of muricids under numerous subfamilies are known. Many muricids have unusual shells which are considered attractive by shell collectors. The spire and body whorl of the muricids are often ornamental with knobs, tubercules, ribbing or spines. Muricids have episodic growth which means that the shell grows in spurts, remain- ing in the same size for a while before rapidly growing to the next size stage resulting in a series of varices on each whorl. Most species of muricids are carnivorous, feeding on other gastropods, bivalves and barnacles. In March 2007, during the course of faunistic surveys along the Palk Strait region of southeast coast of India (Fig.

Coomans R.G. Moolenbeek& E. Wils Institute of Taxonomic Zoology (Zoological Museum) University of Amsterdam INTRODUCTION In this ninth part of the revision all names of recent Conus taxa beginning with the letter e are discussed. Amongst these are several nominal species of tent-cones with a C.of close-set lines, the shell a darker pattern consisting very giving appearance (e.g. C. C. The elisae, euetrios, eumitus). phenomenon was also mentioned for C. castaneo- fasciatus, C. cholmondeleyi and C. dactylosus in former issues. This occurs in populations where with normal also that consider them specimens a tent-pattern are found, so we as colour formae. The effect is known shells in which of white opposite too, areas are present, leaving 'islands' with the tent-pattern (e.g. C. bitleri, C. castrensis, C. concatenatus and C. episco- These colour formae. patus). are also art. Because of a change in the rules of the ICZN (3rd edition, 1985: 73-74), there has risen a disagreement about the concept of the "type series". In cases where a museum type-lot consists of more than one specimen, although the original author(s) did not indicate that more than one shell was used for the description, we will designate the single originally mentioned and/or figured specimen as the "lectotype". Never- theless a number of taxonomists will consider that "lectotype" as the holotype, and disregard the remaining shells in the lot as type material.

  • 22 April 2013 the Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear Friends
    THE CONE COLLECTOR #22 April 2013 THE Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear friends, Editor The project “The Cone Collector” is still under seven years old António Monteiro and yet when I look at all we have achieved so far I cannot help thinking that we have probably exceeded expectations. Layout André Poremski We started modestly – as becomes any serious project – back in Contributors October 2006, with our newsletter aimed at all those who are Carlos Afonso interested in studying or collecting Cones, from professional Jim Cootes biologists to amateur collectors. Today we can proudly display Remy Devorsine a total of twenty-four numbers of TCC, two hugely successful Sébastien Dutertre international meetings and a website that brings together an Günther Herndl unparalleled wealth of information on Cones. Joaquin M. Inchaustegui Bruce Livett As a matter of fact, after the uploading in our website (at www. Philippe Quiquandon Christopher Roux theconecollector.com ) of the important and vastly updated Manuel Jiménez Tenorio and augmented work by Mike Filmer’s involving taxonomy and Will van Damme nomenclature, we now have at the same address Paul Kersten’s Alessandro Zanzi extremely useful and well-known Checklist, enriched with new images and much more detailed information than before. This is the work of a team – the names of Manuel Jimenez Tenorio, Bill Fenzan, John Tucker, Gavin Malcolm, Mike Filmer, Paul Kersten and André Poremski readily come to my mind as front row collaborators of TCC, but all others who have contributed with articles, photos, opinions, suggestions and unfailing support deserve equal credit! The project belongs to all and can only survive with the continued support of all.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

Three Miocene species from Kamehatka assigned by Russian workers to Ceratostoma are difficult to evaluate owing to poor preservation. Purpura turris Nomland, from the Pliecene of California, which was assigned to Ceratostoma by earlicr authors, is here tentatively assigned to Crassilabrum Jousseaume, 1880, have arisen the the early Miocene, it The genus Ceratostoma may in Atlantic.

This pattern of east to west expansion during the early half of the also characterizes many other north-temperate marine genera, including the ocenebrine NiiceUa.
