inoceramid shell material (posted for A. Luther)

From

Dear Paleonet members,

I am looking for prismatic calcite shell material of Upper Cretaceous
(Santonian/Campanian) inoceramids, especially from high latitudes. I need
the material for growth increment analysis. I already have material of
giant inoceramids from the Antarctic (Crame & Luther, in press) and I
intend to compare their growth increment patterns with that of other taxa.
If you have such shell material available, could you please send me a few
fragments (2 x 2 cm will be enough). If you don't have any material, do you
perhaps know of any one who has and could you please send me his or her
address.

Many thanks for your effort.
