Muricidae Shells for
Sale
Updated January
17,
2012
9 NEW LISTINGS
This is a beautiful,
fascinating, yet vastly underrated family (IMHO!). Its 7 subfamilies
and 90 - 120+ genera (depending upon who is doing the counting!!) make
it a challenge second only to the Turridae in scope, and its nearly
endlessly-variable shapes are a true Visual Treat. Every self-respecting
shell collection MUST have at least a few of them!! PLEASE note that
there are a good few unusual specimens here, as well as some lovely
sets, which I think you WILL like!
Have Fun!
