The one hour program has four major segments interspersed with shorter segments. The feature segment takes you to Hawaii's remote country to see why its endemic land snail fauna is becoming endangered. The footage is breathtaking.

An interview with Cone shell expert Bob DaMotta will give you a better understanding about the man who has spent many years studying and amassing one of the largest private Cone collections in the world. His thoughts and ideas on Cone shell taxonomy have been considered controversial. A number of beautiful Cone shells are shown during the interview.

A behind the scenes look at the Department of Mollusks of a major east coast museum will give you an up-close and personal look at how mollusks are studied and preserved for future generations.

"In Search of the Bay Scallop" takes you on the field trip of a northeastern U.S. shell club, and shows how they've fostered an interest in conchology through various club activities.

Shell features, book reviews, and a shell quiz round out the program. This fast paced program has something for both the beginning and advanced conchologist. Many shell clubs around the country have already rented the program for their meetings. Contact us for rental fee and scheduling. Sorry, this presentation is only available to clubs and organizations.
