Terebridae, A Collector's Guide |
|
For more than 5 years, Natural Art has been working closely together with the MNHN, Paris to map the Terebridae of the Indo-Pacific. The initial works entailed a revision of the family to establish the diversity in the family. All the notes and pictures from specimens and types which are useful in determination have now been assembled in a handy guide which is a colourful addition to the huge work by Cernohorsky & Bratcher (1987). It figures almost all currently regarded as valid species in a comprehensive guide depicting more than 1000 shells. The publication is now available through Natural Art and Conchbooks at 48 euro net.

Iconography Genus Neptunea |
|
The Iconography on the genus Neptunea will be the result of more than a decade of work by Koen Fraussen (Belgiuum). The volume is based on his expertise in Buccindae and will figure all known species originating from both well known museum and private collections such as the Koen Fraussen, René Van Walleghem, Frank Swinnen, Dautzenberg-collection in the KBIN, etc... . A number of new species will be described herein. Numerous people offered their help in this volume and we like to thank them already here. Expected early 2007. The massive iconography will be unique in its genre containing hundreds of plates depicting virtually all known species.
