The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars | |
6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars | |
11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
> 150 pieces | 1 star |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.

Dinoplax are large chitons, but there are only 3 different South African species.
The genus Chaetopleura proper lives in the Atlantic as well as in the east Pacific and has many species: the small or average sized species have a sculpture of ribs in the gentral areas of the valves and several other typical characteristics.
