![]() ![]() < Amphidromus richardi ![]() Richard has actively participated in local, national and international shell clubs. At 31 years old, Richard became the youngest President of the Conchologists of America, an international organization of shell collectors; this after being editor of their quarterly publication. He has also judged numerous competitive shell shows across the country and is an experienced appraiser of shell collections. ![]() ![]() ![]() Richard created this commercial site for Worldwide Specimen Shells and a related non-commercial shell Web site called "Conchology - The Art & Science of Nature at worldwideconchology.com. The two Web sites have evolved enormously since they first appeared back in the mid-1990's. With conchology solidly anchored on the Internet, the future looks bright for Richard and Worldwide Specimen Shells after more than 30 years of offering shells of scientific value and aesthetic beauty to shell collectors around the world. Since 1977, Worldwide has been "Your One Stop Marine & Land Shell Connection". |
