Hawaii Shells
This page links to some of the living seashells we have seen and photographed
in the Hawaiian Islands. These were all taken with film cameras (various Nikonos
models) in the 1970s and 1980s, and all images are scanned from slides. Sizes
given are estimates. These were mostly taken haphazardly in passing while searching
for nudibranchs, so this by no means a thorough listing of Hawaiian shells.
