Let's Talk Seashells (LTS) is intended as a resource predominantly for information related to Florida, Caribbean and western Atlantic seashells and, thanks to Phil Liff-Grieff, volunteer Research Associate at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, many California seashells. All material presented on LTS may be freely used for non-commercial or educational purposes provided that LTS is duly credited* as the source material.  Any photos utilized shall duly credit the photographers.  If the material is used in print media, it is requested that an electronic reprint be sent to marlo.is@yahoo.com.  Not all photo material on this site can be readily copied, so those wishing to use particular photos can email me for the original photo files.

Notice of apology

We recently upgraded this WIX website.  Unfortunately, it appears when WIX did so they deleted numerous photos from our earliest work.  So, you may see a blank rectangle where a photo previously was posted.  We are working with WIX to resolve this problem.  If you run into a missing photo you really wanted to view, email marlo.is@yahoo.com and we'll try to get it to you.

Footnote (2018):  This WIX website was created to preserve photo material from the old Invisionfree (now Tapatalk) forum Let's Talk Seashells when Photobucket announced it would soon curtail its "free" support for image files used in websites.  So, Photobucket material on the Tapatalk site may or may not remain for the foreseeable future.  However, all "new" material is posted only to this WIX site.  We migrated all the photo-based presentations, but still link to the LTS Tapatalk site for some all-text material.  Much of Marlo's material was created in photo formats from PowerPoint slides.  The photos added to this WIX site or copied to this WIX site from Tapatalk are not and have not been edited.  As a result, some apparent links in slides may not work (particularly slides in "galleries"), but look for a corresponding active link elsewhere in the presentation.
