    Collected from matrix deposited in the Chesapeake Bay by landslide. These shells are extremely fragile and are not to be found loose on the beach. Most disintegrated when I was working the matrix. This specimen was donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.

    It's there, but very tiny. You have to click on it to blow it up to full screen. Alternatively you can switch to classic theme (at the bottom of the page).

    Odd. It has vanished for me as well in both themes, but I'm also on my tablet at the moment. I'll keep my eye on this and test this on the laptop later. Could be a temporary server or software glitch.

    That was weird. I went into the editor and the files were listed, but they were definitely not showing. I deleted and reloaded them. Let's see if they stay.
