Hello all,

For a patron in my library, I need to find some generic names for shells
in French and German. Hope some of you can help me out here!

Here they are :

Mysella bidentata : french name?
Angula fabula : french name?
Spisula elliptica : french & german name? Elliptische Trogmuschel

the German names are not scientific, but only common names. For the first
two shells I don't have German names.

and the inner shield of Sepia officinalis, which can easily be found on
beaches : german name? Gemeine Tintenfisch-Schulpe

Helmut

Hopefully yours,

Jan
