********************************

Updated this brilliant list so that the names link to an image result :)

As ever though - Please use common sense when it comes to the accuracy of the results as they are only as reliable as the knowledge of the person publishing the details!

It does worry me a little that some images of the species seem to only exist on a couple of websites - this could be because of the specialised nature of naming sea shells or it could be for ease of classifying 'descriptions' for online sales !!
