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.
