II. OTHER FOSSILS
Our foundation collects and displays mainly shells. However, we have also small collections of other fossils  like
brachiopods, corals, sea urchins, trilobites, shark teeth, mammoth molars and mammal bones. Just to
demonstrate we are no narrow minded shell freaks and are able to see the beauty of other fossils we will show
a few things. If you are a specialist in one of these group's, please help us with correct names.

III. ODD SHELLS
Recent shells: we have a world-wide collection of all the shell-bearing Mollusca-families. Not only seashells but
also terrestrial shells, treesnails and freshwater shells.There are many magnificent books for recent shells, so we
give no pictures of normal recent shells here. We show only some pictures of odd deformations of shells. We can
learn stubborn persistency from these animals; after the shell is broken they calmly build a new sipho canal or
make other repairs:		ODD SHELLS
