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.
Info: This monographic treatment embraces the descriptions and illustrations of all known Recent Volutes of thet Tribe, which forms together with the Caribbean Volutini the subfamily Volutinae of that vast family of much sought after marine shells. There are treated 64 species and subspecies (5 new to science and several further undescribed species never represented before) in detail.
