General Survey Collections:
I. Fossil Shells.
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
Now living 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.
