Photo?

With a striking appearance such as reported in the text, can't anybody supply a picture? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:32, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are only two copyrighted photos of shells on Arkive on the whole internet. Photos of live specimen could be used under fair use, but I do not know about any. Maybe there could be something in Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#1898 Mitteilungen aus der Zoologischen sammlung. --Snek01 (talk) 23:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
