| Name | Molluscs miscellanea |
| Alternative name | |
| Description | Collection of actual and partly fossil mollusc shells |
| Description for specialists | Collection of about 60000 specimens (and about 20 paper boxes still to sort) of miscellanea mollusc shells consisting of actual and partly fossil molluscs, belonging to the living classes of the Phylum Mollusca: Polyplacophora, Gastropoda and Bivalvia, collected essentially in Italy during the first half of the twentieth century. The status of the conservation is problematic, either for physical curation or for potential information loss (for example unlabeled specimens in the collection) |

| Level 1 |
Conservation problem, either one of physical curation or one of potential information loss - for example unlabeled specimens in the general collection. |
