Wallets shell
Tearing up a coral-head such as seen in the left center of the picture stirs up a lot of silt and at times reduces visibility
to only a few inches. Collecting from such areas is usually for a SCUBA equipped diver.
To insure finding the shells in such a coral-head I follow a simple technique. First the area surrounding the coral-head is
checked for shells such as miters and Terebra. The smaller coral pieces are turned over and checked for shells. Most Murex
pele and both Cypraea cernica that I have collected were attached to the under side of small, isolated pieces of coral. After
checking for shells these are thrown clear of the area surrounding the larger coral head which I systematically start tearing
to pieces.
Two Belgian scientists, whose hobby is conchology, have done some remarkable shell collecting along the Brazilian Coast of
South America. They are Dr. Bernard "Ben" Tursch, 29 years old graduate in bio-chemistry from the "Ecole Polytechnique"
University te'Libre de Bruxelles, and Dr. Jean Pierret, 32 years old and a graduate anthropologist, also from the University
of Bruselles.
Ben Tursch is working for Stanford University of California in Brazil where he is investigating the chemical structure of
some natural products. In his spare time, he collects shells and has over 300 species of Conus alone. Tursch hopes to publish
a catalogue on Brazilian marine shells with the help of local collectors.
