I have been collecting sea shells ever since I was 7 or 8 years old, I found and bought them from various places over the years. I am starting a separate sea shell collection now that has labels with data just like what I do with my Insects and crustaceans. I have a specimen (Americoliva sayana) from 2012 that I put in a very small clear container with a bit of paper towel inside for cushioning the shell the other day. I sometimes hear about acidic paper breaking down over time, and it makes me wonder if paper towels are acidic. If they are, could the paper towel pieces in my small specimen box possibly damage my shell over time? I'm not sure if that's how it works or not, so feel free to let me know. Also, does anybody else here collect shells?
