PATELLIDAE & ACMAEIDAE (Limpets )

An unusual family of approx. 180 members. They are common and easy to collect living on rocks on the shoreline. It may be because they are so common that these shells are not very popular amongst collectors. South Africa has some large interesting species.

 

	Cellana tramoserica - 49mm, F+++, Queensland. $5
