the star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by conchology , inc . in the last 15 years :
we want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for philippine shells only , as we handle very few foreign shells in general . as time goes , the system will become more and more performant .

fissurellidae a large family , with a great diversity in shape . not very popular among collectors , partly also because of their small size . interesting are the large fissurella from southern america . a few of the minute members from the genus emarginula are much sought after by european collectors . about 300 species .

flattened conical shell with a small aperture in the peak . mantle can be variable in colour and generally covering entire shell , leaving clear the aperture in the top .
occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution . it is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by rls divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per rls transect , where present .

dear visitors , after having being over 10 years online , conchylinet is today pleased to annouce that its database holds over 2000 molluscs species . the species plates tool becomes a more and more reliable for the identification of shelled and non shelled molluscs . some oceans part are still under - represented but the database covers more species than most of the general books .
last week i had the chance to participate to the molluscs taxonomy workhop held in mauritius and organized by the mauritius oceanography institute ( moi ) . for those interested i wrote a small report about it . to read it just click here .
dear visitor , i wish you the best for this new 2017 year . today conchylinet holds a decent number of common new zealand species and can be used to perform identifications of shells from this part of the world . most mollusks from nz are not to be found anywhere else and are endemic of this two - islands state . i recommend you to visit new zealand mollusca if you need a bigger species range , this site also includes micro molluscs and the terrestrial fauna .
hello , 2015 comes to its end . i hope this year was good for you , for the earth it was just another bad year which experienced the warmest year since we record temperature . looking at the recent past we can expect 2016 to be worse : pollution , poverty , nature resources declining . . . all of this because we , humans , are just too many . unfortunately sciences , techs and civics advances are too slow to compensate overpopulation impacts . so , unless stopping spreading children , little can be done . but it is still possible to admire what nature has built and amongst all these wonders our molluscs and their shells !
