Hi, everyone!

While I was preparing a database on the mollusks of Jeju
Island, I realized that I had a lot of records of dead
material from the many beaches on this island.

What is the relationship between the dead shells found on
beaches and the living populations of those species?  Would
the dead material be an accurate record of the living
mollusk fauna of the adjacent area?  What exceptions would
there be?

I have searched the Conch-L archives but found little on
this subject.  Any assistance you can offer would be greatly
appreciated.

All the best from Korea!
