The shells in this section were all collected by Dr. Rudi Hessel, who took the trouble to go to Panama on a shell hunting trip.
A good book for identification of the shells:
W.P.Woodring, 1957Screen 1: Nautiloidea, Gadilimorpha, Patelloidea
Geology and Paleontology of Canal Zone and Adjoining Parts of Panama
Geological Survey Professional Paper 306 A-F
