Allan draws on her extensive curatorial expertise to catalogue and illustrate the remarkable diversity of shell-bearing animals across the continent, with all illustrations produced by the author herself. The work covers not only the shells themselves but the related animals that inhabit them, offering a richly detailed biological perspective that sets it apart from purely taxonomic references. Written with both the serious naturalist and the curious collector in mind, it remains an authoritative and beautifully rendered reference on Australian malacology. This Australasian Society Publication stands as an enduring scientific contribution to the study of Australian fauna.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956158116059,"sku":"2026100008544-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/71005918-3dc9-43f0-8d4a-5b9f3667e7e8.png?v=1783498453","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008544-secondhand-australian-shells-with-related-animals-living-in-the-sea-in-freshwater-and-on-the-land","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
