- Question - why "Own collection, therefore not geocoded"? Can't you look up the coordinates of where you collected it? Also, can I assume it was collected legally? (knowing some species are protected in some areas). - MPF (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Comment It was bought from a professional seller more than 30 years ago. The exact localitiy of collection was not mentioned. "Own collection" means "a shell of my collection", not necessarily "collected by myself". --Llez (talk) 18:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

- Comment Useful, but the colours of the shell itself seem too dull (sun-bleached?) to make an impact on me. --99of9 (talk) 08:08, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think so. The shell is white to creamy-white (upper side), the base (callus and mouth) is brownish. Perhaps you refer to the "periostracum", an organic layer on the shell, which is brown. But this periostracum you mostly see only in living or fresh caught animals, is normally not preserved as it is lapsed. So the colour of the shell (and not the periostracum) is correct IMO. --Llez (talk) 08:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

OpposePlease, can you clean the borders of the shell on the left? --Citron (talk) 06:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)- Comment Please make an annotation of the area you mean in the picture. --Llez (talk) 10:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
