CONIDAE CYPRAEIDAE & TEREBRIDAE of French Polynesia (BOOKS)
Author : DAVID TOUITOU, 2017 March 28th
 

Last saturday (25th march of 2017) I had the pleasure to meet my friend Michel Balleton from Tahiti.
We dove together a lot of time when I was living in French Polynesia. He was also part of our team in
our Venomic's Mission to Tahiti-Moorea-Makemo several years ago now !

His knowledge about local species is awesome and he decided to share his enormous experience to everyone
in 3 books. The first version is already avialable (check below) and concerns CYPRAEIDAE, CONIDAE & TEREBRIDAE.
 

These books are especially dedicated to field collectors as you will find tips to make the right identification of your
finds and a lot of infos about shells' habiatat. You will read short texts and a lot of images will help you make the
difference between close species. A lot live shell images are also displayed for each species.

Example of a page extracted from CONIDAE's publication :

A second version shall be soon edited and will be translated in english during 2017.
