    Offering:
    A complete collection of 12 species/18 specimens of
    Ovulids
    that include:
    Aclyvolva
    ,
    Calcarovula, Calpurnus
    ,
    Crenaovula,
    Cyphoma,
    Margovula,
    Ovula
    ,
    Pedicularia
    ,
    Phenacovula
    ,
    Primovula
    ,
    Simnia
    , and
    Volva
    .
    The Ovulidae are known as Egg Shells, Shuttlecocks, and
    "False Cowries," because of their similarity to the true Cowries. The genus
    Volva
    is the most extreme, which show remarkably long anterior and posterior canals.
    Ovulids live in tropical waters, among colonial animals like soft corals, sea fans and sponges.
    Provenance:
    We proudly present curated specimens from our permanent collection.
    We have chosen to deaccess our entire shell collection so that we may expand our mineral museum and botanical gardens.
    Every one of our specimens was hand-picked over the past 50 years when we began seriously collecting specimen shells through an affiliation with the Chicago Shell Club and the Field Museum of Natural History. If you are a serious seashell collector and believe that certain shells can be an investment, then you will appreciate the opportunity to own these 12 sought after species in the family
    Ovulidae,
    all in one fell swoop rather than obtaining them piecemeal.
